Subject:      Westy Sychro Fresh Air Fan Problem
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


HELP!  Love to take my '87 Westy Sychro skiing, but heater/defroster fan
inoperable.  VW Dealer tells me fan is kaput and 'drawing 20 amps at
rest'...whatever that means.  Anyway, $900 fix!


Is this something I can tackle myself?


Should I do anything else while I've got the dash out (heater core? - how
difficult is this to replace)?


Dealer tells me the only way to fix is to replace...remove entire dashboard
and 'break open the box that holds the fan.  Anybody else experienced this
problem?...got the impression from mechanic that it happens "pretty often".




I've checked/replace switch and fuses numerous times to no avail.  Undying
gratitude for assistance!


Thanks.
