When your aircon is on do the fans come on slow speed and stay constant or do they come on full power for a few seconds then go off for a few seconds and then back on again, if it is the latter then the slow speed fan controller is bust and seat will replace if still under warranty. Hope this helps.

Yes it is the latter so they must be bust, Thanks for your help

When my air con is on my fans go full tilt for a few seconds, then nothing, then full tilt again, they have been doing this for months and I assumed it was normal until I read this thread and then started digging arround. My car is now 3 years and 1 month old

Fuses all look ok, can some one confirm where the relay is (i'll keep searching in the mean time).

Is the fan relay and the fan control unit two names for the same part, or two separate bits? And is it\they expensive?
