What are the reasons for the blower not working in the Magotan?
2 Answers
There are several reasons why the blower in the Volkswagen Magotan may not be working, including prolonged use of the blower and insufficient power supply. Here are the specific details: Prolonged use of the blower: If the blower has been used for a long time, excessive dust accumulation can increase the friction coefficient between the rotor and bearings, causing the rotor to become obstructed or even stuck, leading to overheating and damage of the coil. Insufficient power supply: This could be due to the absence of 220V AC input or a damaged coil. To check, connect the power supply and carefully measure both ends of the power cord with a test pen. If one end lights up and the other does not, it indicates that the power input is normal, and the issue lies with a damaged blower coil. If both ends light up or neither lights up, it suggests a problem with the power input.
I've been driving a Magotan for a long time and have encountered the issue of the blower not working several times. The most common cause is a blown fuse. Just find the corresponding one in the car's fuse box and replace it with a new one—it's something you can do yourself. An aging fan motor can also stop working; if it hums but doesn't blow air, it's likely due to bearing wear or motor issues. Poor contact in the AC switch button is another common problem—if pressing it doesn't work, the contacts might be burnt out. Short circuits or loose connections can cut off power, especially after rain when moisture is a factor. A faulty control module is more troublesome, as a computer malfunction can shut down the entire system. I recommend checking and replacing the fuse first—it's cost-effective and simple. But if the motor is broken or making strange noises, take it to a professional shop immediately, or driving without AC in summer will be unbearable. Regularly cleaning the filter to reduce dust buildup can help prevent these issues.
