davidwort 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Anyone know if the mk3 heater blowers use the same type of motor as the mk2/corrado?, I know the mk4 ones are a bigger motor, but I wondered if a mk3 one would work as the motors can be removed from the housing fairly easily and swapped. The mk3 housing and wiring is slightly different but I'd rather use a second hand vag motor than one of the cheapo complete pattern blowers, they aren't up to the job, one fitted to my car by a previous ower is on it's way out already.

dragon green 5 Posted December 2, 2011 My cheapo one didn't last long either! I got a new one from the stealers beginning of the year, always up for an upgrade,so will be watching this thread . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 2, 2011 Be interested to know too - need a new heater motor for the VR as it's noisy and a bit lethargic, but can't quite bring myself to spend the £60! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rado 0 Posted December 2, 2011 I'd be interested too, heater motor is also noisy and slow so an upgrade is needed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 3, 2011 Mk3 ones are bigger but would be good if they did fit... That said a new Valeo one is £50 and will last years, hardly going to break the bank! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buttles 0 Posted December 22, 2011 WD40 into the bearings works a treat. Been keeping mine going for 12 years like that. Needs doing every couple of years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude VR6 0 Posted December 22, 2011 I brought a replacement from German, Swedish & French, fits exactly the same and it's a valeo one at that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
