Subject:      RE:  Waterboxer Heater Blower Motors Query

Several months ago there was a thread on waterboxer front heater blower motors. One individual recommended that the motor could be rebuilt by installing new bushings and brushes. I totally agree with the theory - but have be unable to locate a source for either the bushings or the brushes. Questions:

1. Has anyone on the list located a source for these parts.? (Please respond with source name, address, P/N's and prices.) 2. Could someone detail the procedure for r&r the blower motor? 3. Has someone found a reasonable source ($) for replacements blower motors. (name, address, P/N and prices.)

My recollections are that the motor is the same unit in both the Vanagon and the rabbit. I recall replacing one several years ago in a Rabbit for around $100.00. Seems a bit stiff.

I'd appreciate replies directly, and will summarize pertinent information for the list when I receive it.

Thanks,

Fred 84 Vanagons (both with howling heater motors)
