There is a 3 speed switch, =
swap that out
first. I do not think it is your motor that is failing. =
Could be
brushes in the motor, but I do not think you can service =
them.
I am pretty sure you will need =
to
disconnect the coolant lines to do any real work on the unit.
Sorry.
I took one out of an 87 =
Vanagon last year
and hope to get it into my 82 Diesel at some point down the =
road.

These Cold
Mornings...
List Volks, =
While lots has been posted over the years =
about the
rear heater I've never paid attention - shame on me. The rear =
heater on
my bus pours out heat and dosen't leak (yet!!) but only on high fan =
speed.
The other settings do not work at all. This started day =
before
yesterday and, frankly, I have yet to lift the seat to take a =
look-see.
But the carpet's dry and that's a good thing... =
My questions... Can the rear blower =
motor be
replaced without removing the whole heater core? Is there a =
resistor
pack on the motor that can/should be swapped out, rather than =
replacing the
whole unit? Assuming I can, in fact, just change out the motor =
or
resistor pack, are these list vendor parts, junkyard parts, or am I in =
for
another mind-bending dealer experience?
Next... I'm still looking for a defroster cable - that =
runs from
one of the air control levers to the flap that directs the forced air =
either
up to the defroster or down at your feet. Anyone parting out a =
'86 or
newer bus?
Thanks all. =
Have
a great weekend.
