Vitesse / Herald heater fan

[mk2vitesses]

Hi All.

I know there has been various threads on this subject, I tried to find one to tack this info to it but gave up.

 

I followed Nicks idea and fitted a Mk2 Golf fan to my heater box, I then looked for a small three speed switch that would fit where the toggle switch came from!

 

Anyway I have sourced a suitable switch http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/3-speed-heater-fan-switch--swfan-1578-p.asp.

The switch has five pins you need to use C = power (use purple wire AKA Lucas fused IGN switched feed) L = low, M = medium, H = fast!! The spare pin is for a warning lamp?

When you obtain the fan motor from the scrappy don't forget the plug and lead!!

The VW wiring codes are white = slow, yellow/black = medium, yellow = fast, brown = ground (Negative earth vehicles)

 

I hope this is of some use.

Still undecided if I shozld convert the heater motor or keep things original.

 

But thanks for the info, at least if I decide to to it I know how to sort it out

I am very pleased with the airflow, cutting the hole was not fun, but now it's all installed and the switch wired it was worth the effort!

The cover is now powder coated black.

Ah, thanks for the switch link - mine still requires wire swapping under the bonnet to change speeds  :B.  Works alot better than the original but still pretty pathetic airflow compared to the Audi which practically pops the windows out on full power
