Detailed eBay Description
ThePartPilot presents this Volkswagen New Beetle heater blower motor resistor, part number 1R8R80R25K. This component regulates the electrical feed to the cabin blower motor and controls the fan speed stages used for heating, ventilation and demisting.
Confirmed fit range for the exact part number and plug match is Volkswagen New Beetle facelift 2005.06-2010.10, body style 2-door hatchback, platform 9C1 / 1C1. It is not listed here for the pre-facelift New Beetle 1998-05/2005 or the later Beetle A5/5C 2011+ because those are different platforms and should not be assumed compatible.
This resistor is commonly fitted in the HVAC ducting near the blower motor, behind the dashboard / glovebox area. When the unit fails, the usual symptoms are blower speeds not working correctly, the fan only running on one speed, intermittent operation, or complete loss of cabin airflow. That can leave the vehicle difficult to demist and uncomfortable in wet or cold weather.
For best results, always match the original part number and plug shape before purchase. If you are unsure, compare your old unit carefully and verify by VIN with the seller before ordering.
