Follow this guide to remove the internal ventilation fan from a Skoda Octavia. The fan is located directly under the glove compartment (you need to remove the glove compartment).

Get a screwdriver or a cordless drill, open the glove compartment, and unscrew the fastening screws around the perimeter. Once done, pull out the glove compartment and disconnect the power cables.

Next, unscrew the plastic panel covering the fan, remove the fan, and disconnect the power cables. Finally, reassemble the previously removed fan and all its components under the glove compartment.
