Yes when you read the Vortex link in thread posted by Graeme86 right through you will see that the fans are actually quite robust and will last for years. It is usually only the internal resistor that is broken and that stops the fan from working on the low speed. In my case the problem was exactly as described in the Vortex thread and as I said above the recommended fix has been working fine ever since.
However VW just go in and replace the whole fan unit (at considerable expense) when it isn't really necessary. The problem here is that it doesn't fix the design error and the new fans will fail in exactly the same way.2001 Bora 4 Motion Sport now used by number two son
