Title: Noisy heater fan
Post by: sefton on 09 December 2007, 15:44:20

Well, after buying the Omega in April and after sorting out the rough running (whith lots of help from you guys!), I can honestly say it has been no trouble since. It flew through the MOT in July with just an advise.
Anyway, the heater blower has always been very noisy (motor bearings?), and now it's getting more use it's starting to get on my nerves! Could anyone give me some advice as to how to get to it, and if it is an easy repair?
Thanks.

Hi, Anyone help with the heater fan problem please?
Is it an easy repair, or am I likely to want a new motor?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Its a rare failure so a second hand motor is a viable option.

I suspect it occurs as a result of the scuttle drain getting blocked and the water damaging the motor bearings.

Not to hard to change....just pop the glove box to get better access.

Thanks m8. I'll give it a go at the weekend.
