Fan Motor Issue

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

My mate has just emailed me, he lives in New Zealand and has a 205 GTi with AC.

 

He was asking me why his fan heater is constantly on full speed regardless of where the controll knob is pointing.

 

Anyone have any ideas? I guessed that the controll unit itself is at fault, but I know nothing about the AC models.

It'll be worn out potentiometer and thus contacts re-soldered in order to make the fan working (but only on full speed !) .. at least was like this on my Ph1 car when i had identical issue

ok, cool, sounds like an easy one to sort?

 

How complicated are these ones with AC ? Should it be hard to diagnose?
