jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 hi, i bought a replacement heater fan from ebay. it was from a vr6 corrado but its totaly different to the one i just spent 30 mins getting out of my car. its alot smaller and the connections are all different. my car has aircon...could this mean the fan is different to non air con vr6's?? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 the one i bought is like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 76015&rd=1 but mine doesnt have thos connections. it just has a live and negative spade connector on the bottom of the motor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted July 19, 2004 yeah i think someone mentioned that the heater fan IS different in the A/C equipped cars................perhaps might be an idea to post a pic of the existing one to see if any of the Vee-dub gurus on here can identify it.......or of course post the part number :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 good thinking batman....apart from i spent another 30mins just putting it back together :mad: :mad: not gonna start stripping it apart again now! i should have written it all down when it was apart. oh well, i'll keep my eyes peeled on ebay for an aircon version. anyone want a heater fan then??

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 19, 2004 Bat Man and Boy Wonder? What's going on between you two? I don't want to see two guys in Spandex getting it on on here please :wink: How much did you pay for the heater fan BTW as they're about £45 new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 well i got the fan, abs pump and heater dial surround for £65 from a guy breaking his corrado. £45 from vw?? there a right pig to get in and out!!!! dont want to get the wrong one again so i think getting it from vw would be best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they can be a pain to remove, it's the retaining tab round the back that stumps most people. Once that's lifted up, it just twists out in seconds. £65 for all that is a good price, especially as the ABS pump is included! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storm 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Aircon ones are totally different and are non VAG part numbered. I think you need to speak to a Diavia dealer to sort this. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 ah, that explains it. i think it was a bosch unit if i remember correctly...i really didnt take any note of it though (dumb ass that i am) Diavia...they the aircon ppl then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Yep, Diavia are the manufacturer of the AC unit. The fan is usually made by SPAL. A Diavia dealer should be able to help. Please can you post how you get on to help others? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted July 19, 2004 sure thing.....where would i start looking for diavia dealers? i have never heard of them? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick 0 Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Mate, did you have any look finding the SPAL fan?.. I'm after the same thing the only difference is i dont have the original Fan to get the P/N off! Do you know the P/N is or where to get one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted August 24, 2004 no, i havent done anything else about it im affraid. i heard the new fan was over £100 so it slipped down the priority list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 0 Posted August 24, 2004 I dont suppose you have the P/N do you?.. i'll have a search around today and let you know what i find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted August 24, 2004 its all installed back in my car and it was a real pig of a job to get it out.... if and when i do it again in the future i'll post the P/N up for you. sorry i cant help any more than that if you find anything else out though let me know. cheers (i presume your after the aircon version??)
