All this blower talk raises a question I have often wondered about but never ran across any information on. I can think of several basic 12v Bosch motors used for fans in the Vanagon: Front AC blower Rear AC double blower front heater fan rear heater fan and there are probably more. Are there any commonalities among them or are they all unique?
