Fasterthanyou Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I am now fed up with taking the heater motor out everytime it stops working! think it just gets stuck and generally a good tap on the caseing frees it for a few days but sooner or later it stops so I am looking for another.

Snowy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 To be honest all the motors are going to be the same way now. They are all getting old. If you strip yours down to inspect why it's failing it might help. You can usually rebuild them. Look here, scroll down the page a bit and you will see what i did...

mantadoc Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Here's a better solution (in my opinion) as it uses a newer and more powerful motor that's easily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Thanks Snowy, I stripped it last time it was out as that worked on one I had before but it lasted a week and stopped so next time it comes out it goes in the bin! Here's a better solution (in my opinion) as it uses a newer and more powerful motor that's easily available. Think thats the plan of action, seems to be a better solution as the originals have never been much good so hopefully this will sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Polo mod require the blower motor/heater from any particular year or Mk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Does the Polo mod require the blower motor/heater from any particular year or Mk? The one people usually use for 16V or big engine conversions, people sell them on ebay for kit cars and stuff. I did it this way as car manufacturers aren't allowed to draw air from the engine compartment so didn't think doing it that way for a daily drive was bright, as when you are in traffic exhaust gasses from the car in front probably get blown under your car and could be sucked in, plus one leaky exhaust and you could get CO poisoning. Late '80s / '90s Polo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
