Peterla Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi, Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the heater/AC fan out to check for a noise with it. Get a Tick-Tick-Tick when it is running. Possible somehting stuck in it of bad motor bearings. Do I need to remove the dash or can I get to it without this? Thanks Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffernutter Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Are you double jointed and do you have at least a day to spare... I changed the heater matrix in a 300Tdi recently and it was a dash out job :-( Getting at the blower motor may be slightly easier, I can't remember as I had to go the whole hog any way! I remember correctly it is to the left of the central heater block and it may have come off separately! Others may have more recent (and better!) memories!

teabag Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The heater motor/fan unit can be seen from the passenger footwell just undo and release, it's the 200 series that requires some of the dash out to replace. Even the heater matrix can now be replaced without removing the dash it can be seen to the left of the fuse box area at the back takes an hour although pipes have to be cut I believe.

nicedayforit Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 3 screws on the underside of the fan/motor assembly in the footewell. Unit just drops down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterla Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks for all the responces. Much easier than I expected. Three screws and found top motor bracket broken. This caused the the brushers to run down onto the winding joints causing a Tick-Tick-Tick noise. Replace the fan motor and is now working fine.
