AC doesnt engage when fans on 1
hi guys, its been a while! (I've kinda just learned to accept my cars a nugget lol)
New problem that bothers me though!
My AC doesn't engage when the fans are set to '1' but will engage on anything higher!
If i set the fans back to '1' the AC will turn itself off!
The fans blow on all settings
Any ideas as to where i should start to look?

Re: AC doesnt engage when fans on 1
Sorry for asking, but if your fan did not run on speed "1" then maybe the speed controller resistor network is faulty and that would explain this.
Are you 100% sure that the fan is running on speed "1"?

It definitely feels like there is air coming out when the fans are set to speed 1 (i will triple check tomorrow)

Re: AC doesnt engage when fans on 1
Noticed that there is a few items on ebay that say that their part covers several part numbers
I've been looking at getting this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heater-Blowe ... 1438.l2649
Would that work?
Thanks for your help so far btw

Re: AC doesnt engage when fans on 1
It should work, as the second part number looks to be an updated (for any/many reasons) of the first VW Group part number, how long it will last I don't honestly know as I've never needed to replace one of them ever, never mind with a cheaper pattern part.
One thing, maybe hold onto the one you remove as you know it still woks in all the remaining fan speeds.
