Having had various intermittent heater fan problems in my 08 k12,first solved by bypassing the 2 pin 12v connector at the fan itself,as this wasn't making a good connection ,then replacing the resistor card ,eventually diagnosing the fan itself having an intermittent fault as I can test with a 12 volt supply directly at the motor itself...So here lies my question..Has anybody removed the fan ....Does the whole dash ,clocks airbags etc have to come out as suggested in one manual or is there a quicker way..One guy in a Main Dealers has told me the fan can come out after removing the radio console...A new fan is very expensive (€290) as opposed to a second hand one I can get for about €50- €60...If it were easy to remove/replace I would go for the used one.
