A/C Fan Vibration

[Parasloth]

First post...hello

Just took delivery of my 2015 Jetta TDI through one of those buy-on-line places - awesome experience. Getting out of a Mk5 Jetta Wolfsburg. Anyways, I'm playing with the car and turn the fan all the way up and you can feel the vibration of the fan through the steering wheel. Nothing absolutely aweful, but it certainly makes sure you know it is there.

I have 7 days to turn this back in, then a 100-mile warranty of which this would be covered. Obviously I'll get it checked out, unless it is just normal on these newer Jettas?

Thanks! Look forward to learning here and helping where I can.

Well ... I guess I have my answer ... seems like this is not a common issue.


Thanks all!

It can happen to all cars. Usually, a mouse has built a nest in the fan cage or even just a leaf is enough to throw the balance off and cause a vibration. Remove the blower motor, clean out the fan cage, and it'll be good to go. It would be a good time to replace the cabin filter too.
