Part: Blower motor

This is not a video, but a series of photos, which still allow us to see in detail how to replace the fan resistor of a Volkswagen Polo 9N, which is located in an awkward position behind the glove compartment, of which we will have to unscrew the partition inside. Once the screws holding the cover are removed, we pull out the entire drawer and at that point we can access the fan resistor, which is located in a circular container, with electrical wires at the back. We will remove this sort of cap, and extract the resistor. We can find the piece on auto-doc. It with the code 4059191684472 at a price of 9.45 euros + 9.90 euros for shipping costs. All that remains is to replace the piece and put the glove compartment drawer back in place.
