A-Premium Front HVAC Fan Blower Motor Resistor Compatible with Porsche & Volkswagen Vehicles - Touareg, Cayenne 2011-2018, Replace# 7P0820521A, 7P0820522A

Part appears virtually identical to OEM. Fit the blower on my 2013 Cayenne Diesel just fine. It is not a trivial thing to replace. Getting to the blower and removing it is a hassle - not techincally difficult, but a tight squeeze under the dash and uncomfortable working position too close to the screws to easily see what you are doing (at least if you need readers... ahem...) The swapping of the resistor was also straightforward enough, but instructions are few and far between. While it went perfectly, once you snap the last clip free it feels like everything is floating around - and like the motor brushes might just decide to liberate themselves while you are changing out that board. They did not. It's still discomfiting. But it's done! Certainly better value (and better for the landfill) than swapping out the whole blower unit!

I'm so glad this part is available! I was able to fix an intermittent HVAC fan in our Touareg by replacing the old blower motor resistor with this replacement. Replacing a cheap resistor sure beats paying for the entire blower motor. Installation was easy with the help of a few YouTube videos. Seems to be working great!

Excellent blow power!

Car was suffering from random fan behavior. Followed videos available for install (look for the one that doesn't require removing vent and glove box and dash trim). Will report back if there is any change.

Had intermittent fan issues code: B10BE 12. Worked on my 2012 VW Touareg TDI Sport. Was able to install with a t15 bit, 1/4 in ratchet with small extension and a swivel adapter with a 5.5mm socket.

Blower stopped moving any air at all in my car and from what I read online it would likely be a bad resistor. Replacing it was relatively simple if you are a handy person. I’m guessing it took me an hour. Watch videos online for how to replace.

Was a little bit of a pain in the but removing everything since vw likes to make things harder than they need to be but after a few tutorial videos and a forum online I was able to do it no problem! Great option for the price since a whole new blower motor cost $400 from vw and $200 from auto part store!!

The resistor works 100%.
