Upgraded Manta B Interior Fans Pt2

[mantasrme]

I have another batch of my upgraded interior fans for manta B's as they were so popular last time

 

I've been making these upgraded interior fans for customers cars for a while now and have finally got around to making a few spares.
The standard manta fans are not really that good at shifting air even when working right. When they're not working right (which is quite often) its either from a seized bearing on the shaft or a worn bearing (they are brass/bronze bushes on a steel shaft) that then screams like a banshee.
 
So i use a more modern fan from a VW Polo along with the resistor from the same car.
This fan gives 4 speeds in the Polo but as the manta switch only gives 2 i connect speeds 2 and 4 to give a nice range. The full speed is much better than the original manta so actually demists the screen.

 

They fit in the same place as the original and retain the standard plug/wiring. No modifications are needed to the car



 
I'm offering these at £35 with the exchange of your old fan (seized or squealing is fine) or £50 outright with postage at £6 by courier

I can give full backing from a satisfied 'interior fan' customer. Fitted last year.

A hundred times better than the original!!

Hi,

 

I've still got the original Manta fan I took out when I swapped mine over for one of these earlier in the year  -  is it any use to you?

 

New fan is brilliant by the way

 

Cheers

Fitted mine. Will get the old sent out this week

 

[Gte88]

Any of these still available?

[mantasrme]

Currently out of stock of these and waiting on more polo fans before i can make any more up.

I've exhausted all my local sources and am having to look further afield.

[Sutty2006]

Still need to send my old unit back. Will get it done when the xmas rush is over!

Put mine in a couple of weeks ago - what a great upgrade, I can now feel the air flow now & much quieter

I know you can make one yourself but for a plug and play swap they are great!!

 

I love mine, it has transformed the ventilation!!

We have a VW braker in Coventry, if your interested I can see if they can suply any polo fans for you.

I would also like one of your convertions when you have any spare.

[mantasrme]

I have 6 stripped manta fans on the bench and have 3 polo fans arriving today so will start working through the list of those who have asked for one.

 

Got another polo fan in the post on its way as well, but i think i have 8 requests for these at the moment all from the last month so will keep hunting for polo fans.

 

My problem with getting the polo fans is the price VW breakers think things are worth.

The cheapest is £10 for the fan, plus another £10 for the resistor plus postage and he doesn't have many in for long, i've asked him to tell me any time he gets a 6N polo in and i'll have the fan but he's a smaller yard

Most want 15 to 20 just for the fan.

 

I have a couple of friends looking in their local yards and will see if i can drum a few more up.

Hi Again,

 

Whats the 6N mean, I can check with some breakers near me - but is that a particluar type of Polo - is there a specifc year range as well?

I am after getting a fan and resistor from a mk3 6N Polo.

If I sent my manta fan and polo fan and resistor to you, how much would it cost to get it done including postage back to me in the South of ireland?
