So a replacement of the fan should get things working again?might do a "dry run "with a panel from a breaker and get it all working then remove existing and traight replace with a now know functioning one..other advantage with that is if I mess it up car is still usable..will try some pictures when got bits and see if we can do a "how to guide " as seems to be a frequent question.

Hi All,
Just to muddy the waters a little!

I don't know from what year or model, but later versions, certainly 2002 on the 3.2 sampler fans are not fitted.

I know this because like some of you I couldn't see any ciggy smoke drawn through the small hole in facia panel and thought I had a fault.

I took the whole gubbins apart, even the assembly that is behind all the push buttons. There was no fan, nor any type of arrangement to hold or fix a fan to. definately had not ever been one, even though there is still a small hole in the facia

I don't know where the later system senses the interior temperature, but I can only comment that my climate control is spot on. it reacts immediately if when you stop and open a door to let someone out by speeding up the fan and increasing the heat, then as soon as temp is up again it powers down again.

It would be interesting to know just when VX ceased using the sampler fan control system, as i am sure there is going to be someone else like me looking for faults that don't exist.

Facelift setup is totaly different.......possibly because the early one suffered fan failure!

......
Beware, the first stage of failure is slow running.....and sometimes they dont start at all....but, the speed is not enough to get a decent level of air sampling.

Now you tell me!   Thanks I keep an eye on it.

Think I might have the start of this problem too.. I just thought that the fan & airways might need cleaning and have been lazy to take it apart!!

Now I may have a clearer idea of what to look out for when I do..

Thanks Guys

Reading peoples problems with this system,it would appear that it is quite a common problem..maybe one that you are unaware of..am now on the saerch for a replacment digital climate control panel and will attempt to produce a how to repair guide.
