Below we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the resistor of the cabin fan of the Volkswagen Polo. First, we get on board the vehicle, on the passenger side, and start unscrewing the fixing screws that we find under the glove compartment, unscrewing the screws inside and then removing it; in this way we will have access to the cabin fan, disconnecting the electrical connector of the resistor to remove it, as shown in the video.

At this point we install and connect the cabin fan, verifying the correct operation at various speeds.
