Strange Heater Behavior?

[ingram172]

Hi Guys,

I have a FF 182 and when I get in the car and set off the fans are blowing fine.
But after 10 mins or so, they just stop and won't blow, however high the fan setting is on.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Or could recommend somewhere to investigate?

Thanks!

Have a Search for fan resistor. It's likely you will need a new one, located under drivers scuttle panel.

Fan resistor as above, had it go on mine last year and my fans were blowing full blast for a couple of days haha!

Perfect thanks for the help guys! I'm guessing this is the troublesome part? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SmartSens...329418?hash=item1c508a5d4a:g:GMsAAOSwiLdWCmq0

Bit confused how this one is £16.99 but the one on K-Tec is £130.60?? I'm guessing they are the same, but the K-Tec one is genuine Renault?

Thanks again

New genuine ones are expensive. Either get a cheap pattern or have your one refurbed.
