Scirocco Central

Hi Guys,

Think this is my first post so hello everyone. I had a quick search about and couldn't find anything on this.

Last night my car heater on my '60 Scirocco R packed up. The fan just stopped blowing mid car journey about 2 months after the warranty ran out as well

The garage said i need a new heater at £412.77 and an hours labour. Now i'm not going to complain as an hour labour sounds great but i was under the impression that it would be a dash out job, does anyone know the location on the heater fan?

Has anyone else had theirs pack up?

Cheers all

I've heard of a few cabin fan failures on Golfs but not on Sciroccos. As I understand it they can get access to the fan from the passenger.footwell and removing the glovebox. It's just the fan that's being replaced not the heater. If it was the heater matrix that had failed then I di believe it would be a dash out job.

Ah right good to know, as you say it is just the fan, lucky really. I had to do a heater matrix on my 306 years ago. Quite a big task to take on myself.

Slightly disappointed to be honest i also had to have a new air con pump fitted 3 months ago lucky still under warranty but all these expensive parts that keep failing is very annoying.

If the car is just out of warranty and has a FVWSH then it's worth discussing goodwill with the dealer / VW Customer Services.
