Hello Guys,

I have a 2012 Touareg that decided to stop blowing heat today. (I kinda need the heat in Ontario this time of year)

I can feel warm air coming from the vents but no blowing air of any sort. Where is the blower motor located and is this a common problem with the 2012 Touareg ? I wonder if there is a DIY anywhere to complete this job ?

Cheers

Check on Club Touareg, the fans have been known to fail on the Touaregs.

Took a look on clubtouareg.com and discovered its a very common problem with the this vehicle.

After receiving a quote from the dealership, I decided I could do this myself. After lying upside down for an hour underneath the glove box, i pulled out the blower motor and tested it outside the housing. Low and behold the motor started and ran perfectly. Put everything back and its now working like new.

Guess I was lucky this time and just a lose wire or something but at least my wife and kids have heat again.

I fixed my 2011 touareg TDI heat issue yesterday. It was the coolant control valve in the coolant line going to the heater core. It eas stuck shut. It should be open with no electricity going to it. The motor and electrical box on the part had gotten water inside it. $168 part, 3 hours of work and the heat now works perfectly.

Working on mine now. Seems it powers in both directions. I put in a test piece of heater hose and pulled the valve out. I have lots of heat now. It works in both directions out of the car but must have been stuck. It did not throw any codes.

Mine did not throw a code either but was definitely bad. I put 12V on it and it opened but would not shut again.
