How do you replace the fan resistor fitted on a Volkswagen Polo? In this video, learn how to carry out the disassembly. Use a lever to remove the plastic under the glove compartment, then use a screwdriver to unscrew the securing screws of the glove compartment (where the resistor is located).

Disconnect the large connector of the resistor, then extract it from the cabin. Insert a new fan resistor (check the pollen filter while disassembling).

Finally, reassemble the covering trim and tighten the screws. Check the correct assembly of the previously installed parts and test their correct operation.
