My fresh air blower was not working so I removed it to see if it was a simple fix like leavers stopping the fan from rotating.
Unfortunately this was not the case, one of the motor brushes has overheated and the plastic brush holder has melted, I guess I could try to fix it but it would be better to get a new part. Does anyone know if the motor used on the 914 blower was also used on other VW models? I want to get a replacement brush holder. Thanks in advance. |

Easiest and most reliable fix is to replace the motor.
URO makes new units. Likewise you can post WTB on classifieds, I bought a used one that way recently. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/9115...ASABEgJEcfD_BwE Other options on Evil Bay too. |
