does anyone for sure if Vectra fan motor resistor (9180020) will work on Croma Dynamic.Looks identical and will fit I'm sure,but vehicle compatabilty says not.If so what is correct part number please?
 
Use ePER on this website to properly identify the part.

I've used my ePER but had to make some assumptions about your actual vehicle model and came up with 77363759 - RESISTOR costing £31 back in 2012.

Regardless of what I have found or you find if you decide to go with the Fiat original part then YOU MUST let the dealer determine the part number. If they get it wrong you won't have to pay for the mistake :)
 
I don't know for sure, but technically there is no reason why not if it physically the same. However, note that Zafiras have a habit of catching fire due to not this part overheating and possibly not having a thermal cut-out. I don't think this applies to the Vectra C but carefully compare the two parts and if they don't look exactly the same take care. If you get one from ECP you can take it back if it is not th same as the Fiat one.

Thanks chaps.I've ordered vectra one.I'll let you all know if no good.I couldn't find part on ePER (my fault),and ECP website came up with nothing.At least I got right number now thanks s130.

ePER can be challenging (even to me). Trying to describe via words on a forum how to dig deeper than the obvious is not going to be a 100% fruitful exercise.

Even when one thinks one has found the required information / part number then one then gets dragged into a shed load of replacement parts etc.

This is why I always stress that YOU MUST present the Fiat/parts dealer with a qualified (vehicle, chassis number, spares number, year, etc.).
 
Just to let you know the vectra resistor works fine.I'll inform forum if car bursts into flame any time soon!!

Good news. As ling as the resistor hads a thermal fuse, the silver coloured cylinder furthest from the connector in the picture below,

it should not burst into flames. The Zafira resistors seemed to use an old type resistor with a self supporting resistor coil and simple thermal protection.
