Hello again, My front heater motor seems to have overheated to the point of destroying the bearings (at least). It was getting increasingly squeky and finally started producing a burning odor the other day. It still runs but groans loudly. Can you suggest a good part vendor to order a new one? I assume that the motor and fan are all one assembly. I recieved fairly detailed instructions from helpful listees on the considerable task of replacing it. Don't know if I will do it myself, but am sure that I do not want to pay the inflated part prices of the local dealer to start with. Thanks Jeff Hartman Juneau, Alaska jeffndeb@gci.net 1986 Vanagon with Canadian conversion package |
