  1. Hope someone can help? My 1995 Mk 6 1.8 ghia cabby is running very roughly so have been busy replacing plugs, air filters, etc etc. and eventually decided to replace the MAF sensor. Having started the engine, I then removed the electrical cable from the sensor expecting the engine to cut out. But it didn't so replaced the MAF again and had the same result. I don't believe two MAF sensors are faulty so am scratching my head as to what could be the problem. Is there a fuse for the MAF? Anyone know what number it is? Is the temperature inlet sensor (just after the MAF) faulty causing the MAF issues? Hmmmm.
  2. What a hassle that was, but the blower is back in action. The blower and resistor in my Mk6 are under the wiper mechanism at the very back of the engine compartment. To get to it you have to remove a large plastic protector above the fan housing that just defied removal. OK it had been there for 21 years! After a lot of pulling it came out in one piece. Undoing the fan housing was easy but getting it out the engine compartment meant removing the battery and lifting many cables out of the way. The fan had seized and the resistor looked shot so decided to replace both with new parts (didn't want to put a second hand blower and resistor in only for either of them to need replacement again). Managed to get both blower and resistor from the famous online store and refitted everything. BUT, the plastic housing completely refused to go back to its original position and is held, albeit fairly securely, by its two screws. Turning on the blower and finding that it worked should have ended a very satisfying day, but every time I opened a vent, leaves and debris shot all over the front seats and carpet. Still I suppose the repair could have been a lot worse.......
  3. Hi, Thanks for the offer. As soon as I find out what it is I'll be in touch.
  4. Now the summer is over and water has started to form on the windscreen, my blower has stopped working. I'm going to get the mutimeter out (I can hear you shout!) but wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem? I've read about the fuseboards being replaced, direct cables being run from the battery to bypass the board. The resistor and/ or switch being replaced. The cabby is a P- Reg 1996 Ghia 1.8. Anyone got a fuseboard for it?
  5. No the relay didn't click, so one ebay relay purchase later and the front heated screen works again. Thanks for the tip.
  6. Hi, This is my first post so I hope someone has come across a similar problem? I upgraded my front windscreen of my 1996 cabby ghia to a heated front windscreen. All worked well until recently when the switch light came on very briefly then went off. It continues to do this when the switch is depressed and there's no front windscreen demisting. The switch is not at fault as I've changed it for the one in my Ghia X that I know works. I don't think its the relay as I've swapped that as well. I've disconnected all the plugs and sprayed them with wd40 in case there's dampness present. So I'm at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions anybody?
