Heater issues with a 1999 Passat
I have a 1999 Volkswagen Passat TDI with climate control. When I have been starting this in the morning recently, the LED display flashes with lots of 8s but then does reset after a minute or two, but the blower is not always working. Could this be the blower motor or relay?

The display is flashing to indicate a fault with the system,but I suspect the blower motor is the problem for no boosted air.It is behind the glovebox.

Can it be fixed or will it need to be replaced?

Replace the motor.The armature and brushes will be worn out.
