Part: Blower motor

Remove the air conditioning fan from a VW Polo if it is no longer functioning. Start by removing the glove compartment located in the front dashboard. Open the glove compartment and unscrew all the screws on the sides of the drawer, then tilt the glove compartment forward, remove the cover acting as a stopper, and pull out the air filter from its housing. After this, unscrew the air fan and disconnect the power supply. Install the new air fan, the filter, and the previously removed glove compartment. Turn on the controls and check the operation.
