So, the fan clearly works, but, for some reason, cuts out almost immediately, leaving just a wisp of air coming through the vents. Sounds like it can't be that complicated. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Colin 964C2 Coupe 1990 Granite Grey 159K 944S2 1990 Guards Red - Gone & very sadly missed BMW 318D - slow, slow, slow coach. Most disappointing car I have ever owned.

Fuse in the panel in the box on the left side of the engine bay. Long time ago & can’t exactly remember the symptoms. Hope this helps. … Paul. Quote Reply #2

It was the wiring inside the engine mounted blower motor that had become intermittently disconnect that was the root cause in my case. I suspect that may have had a hand in blowing the fuse too. As I recall my front fan ran normally when the temp control was at minimum but failed when heat was called for. My car does not have AC. Paul. Quote Reply #3

And this was just when I replaced the rear blower Bosh motor too [annoying]. Some point I'll get round to sending off the CCU to Tore. However, I don't rely on the rear blower to keep the cabin warm in cold winter driving, so not an inconvenience tbh. The rear blower used to blow fuses for many until Porsche sent a bulletin out to bump up the fuse rating. The CCU is the 'brain' for when, what speed and what temps both the rear blower and front oil cooler operate. Tore is the master of all things CCU and can recondition the CCU unit once removed from the car. Out of interest, if you played with any of the CCU controls (engine idling) do you get any reaction from anything? And does the front oil cooler low and high speed fan operate normally? Post up any progress Colin. Marcus '90 964 C4 Velvet Red '94 968 Sport Gaurds Red '90 964 C4 Slate Grey '08 Golf Mk 5 GTi Black Quote Reply #5

What I don't get it why the fan blows full blast when the engine starts, for a moment and then dies completely.

CCU is playing you up I think Colin. Check with Tore the cost and time to take for a complete refurb. btw - you at Le Mans this year?

Yes I'm I'm due at Le Mans this year. Will I see you there? Colin 964C2 Coupe 1990 Granite Grey 159K 944S2 1990 Guards Red - Gone & very sadly missed BMW 318D - slow, slow, slow coach.

Will I see you there? Probably, I'm driving down first ferry Thurs AM, lunch at Gace then onward. Couldn't get into Porsche Curves this year (unsurprisingly) but managed to get a place with Team Langoustine right on Tetre Rouge, so handy for the race village too. You - day and ferry timings?
