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. |

I got the fresh air fan housing apart and the new fan motor (part) installed, I even got the fresh air box back into the car.
I did not attach the cable before installing the fresh air box and now I'm having problems getting the clip that holds down the cable into place. Should the cable be attached before installing the fresh air fan box? Thanks in advance |
