Hi Folks,
This is a follow-up post to my previous problem. The heater and aircon don't respond at all, no fan/heat/aircon. The rear screen heater works as does the heater fan if a current is applied directly to it's feed wires. I guess I need a new control unit that seems impossible to access easily. There's a replacement control unit available but I can't access the old one in the car to compare part numbers to ensure it will fit. Is there a way of using the chassis number to resolve this? Is there another cure? Any help very gratefully received
Mike

If you post up the last 8 digits of the VIN somebody with the relevant access will be able to look it up and give you the information you need.

Re: Heater/aircon meltdown
The climate ECU is located vertically on the RH side behind the glove box, and is relatively easy to access once the glove box is removed. I've got a spare one you can have I think. I doubt this is the problem though - it's more likely just a loss of power to the fan - if the fan is not running, then you won't get any heat / cold into the car. Check that there is 12V on the power wires on the fan. If not, then investigate the relay down above the throttle pedal to see if it has 12V on it. Does the AC swtich light up? There are several long threads about failure of the power supply to the fan on MK2s - there's a splice in the wire somewhere that fails, but it can remedied by jumping in a new supply.

Hi RichardW,
my mechanic is still wrestling with the problem, could I buy the unit from you that you mentioned?
Kind Regards
