heater blower motor

[silk violet]

Hi does anybody know if there is another motor off a vauxhall that fit inside the standard mk2 nova plastic cover....???

[Novasport]

Mk2 Astra and maybe Mk2 Cav I think. Also same as a Mk1 or Mk2 Golf

has anyone got a picture of the flimsy plastic cover fitted over the blower motor??

It's a crap design and when fitted it looks terrible

[brainsnova]

If your motor has stopped working put it on and spin the motor it might kick in to life

Or buy my spare tested motor lol (Shameless plug)

The plastic cover does look pretty awful, why does the blower even have a cup shape at the bottom to catch water?

[stevep1]

I bought one off but when it turned up you could barely turn the thing by hand... so ive asked for a refund from the bloke, he said he tested it but I cant see it ever turning... anyhow ive bought the flimsy plastic cover as like you said the motor is like a cup and can figue out how its meant to go on its huge!

[brainsnova]

Did you try plugging it in

[Jonesfach]

Did you try plugging it in

If it didn't turn by hand it's a sure way to blow a fuse.....and possible electrical cables melting !!

on the other hand you could be joking??

[stevep1]

it was real stiff, and yes I briefly tried to plug it in as you need the earth to be screwed to work it but no joy what so ever the seller was a bit of an issue as he said he tested it but I just asked for a refund, and he is going to try and send me another

still want a picture of how the big outer cover goes if anyone got one?

I have put a drop of oil on the each of the bearings and work the spindle them, will normally free up and work, if powered up whilst seized as said the fuse will go, or the wiring!!!!

It's a pig to get on and off and feels like you're going to ruin it lol

The cover only goes on one way if I remember correct there is a raised lip on the cover that goes over the metal lip on the scuttle
try a corsa heater motor I think mk 1 s have the same motor but maybe you can use the blower an switch from a later model
