Video tutorial

This is not a video, but a series of photos that allow you to see in detail how to replace the fan resistor on a Volkswagen Polo 9N, which is located in a difficult position behind the glove compartment, where you will need to unscrew the panel inside.

Once you remove the screws holding the cover, pull out the entire drawer, and at that point, you can access the fan resistor, which is in a circular-shaped container with electrical wires at the back.

Remove this sort of cap and extract the resistor. You can find the part on auto-doc.it with the code 4059191684472 for £9.45 plus £9.90 for shipping.

Simply replace the part and refit the glove compartment drawer.
