Hello Club Members 
,
As winter quickly approaches I have finally decided to attempt to repair the heater blower on my 1999 1600 16v Clio.
The car has Aircon and is the 2nd shape of clio therefore presumably a mark 2 and was 1st registered in Northern Ireland as WVZ 6750. On re-registration of the vehicle in England in 2004 the DVLA have given the car a T reg no. therefore I assume the car is a 1999 model.
After reading several threads from various sources I presume the problem is a heater blower resistor. I contacted my local Renault Dealer and they quoted a Heater Blower Resistor Part No. 7701044808 at £117.70p plus vat. They also advised on the following other heater components that may be causing the failure:-
Heater Computer, Motor / Resistor at £200 plus vat & Resister Kit at £88 plus vat. All this information has left me in a delema and although spending that amount of money on the heater could be justified on a nearly new car it is a but much for a £500 1999 model. I would appreciate any help or recommendations on the best way forward and any advise regarding the most likely cause of the heater blower failure. Incidently, I have checked the heater fan fuse on the passenger end of the dashboard and that is OK.:S
