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.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
