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. |

Thanks Superhawk, Any idea how to remove the old motor? hey there, we just had a tread recently documenting tear down and rebuild, i used the URO motor & fan assembly and they are just $90, and 914 rubber has all the seals and flapper seals. here are a few pictures with the blower assembly apart, new fan new seals the. it back together, but test the resistor pack first to make sure that’s working before putting it all back Attached thumbnail(s)
