brilliant, my fans gone on my fabia but the model i have doesn't have the glove box. More a pocket/shelf kind of layout. I will assume same process to remove it :) Cheers bud
Thanks for this one. Haven’t done one on these either yet. Seems you have no chance to lever out the air vents without leaving (small) marks. It‘s a nuisance that many vehicles aren’t built with maintenance in mind. And the diesel got an idle of 900 rpm? I know the 1.6 petrol idles at 640rpm!
@@mechanicmatt871 Agreed. That’s what I always do. On some occasions, I will only do a job on an hourly rate. I’m fed up with losing so much time on some repairs
@@mechanicmatt871Well I don’t know if that’s entirely true. Engineers are handed a design specification and expected to work within those constraints. Designing a modern vehicle compliant to all regulations within cost ceilings can’t be easy. Although ball breaking installations, may have you thinking otherwise 🤣

Nasty job matt. well done
Nice job matt
I loathe trim work, especially at -20. Something always breaks.
Yea plastic trim can snap like a frosty carrot 🥕
It does change the job when it's that cold. I was expecting that to happen, although today I was in luck, no left over screws either. Cheers Matt
What's the part number of this heater blower?
wouldn't be a MM video without the rain 🤣🤣
Bit of a tricky job that one Matt but maybe beats laying on your back in the pouring rain mate.
I enjoyed this one, hopefully we'll be getting better weather soon. Cheers Matt
What was the book time for that job Matt? Looks fairly involved
Book time to replace the blower motor is 2.5 hours
@@mechanicmatt871 Doesn’t seem enough to me. As usual………
It's not a lot of time that they give, when I talk to other mechanics, they say they add extra time due to the age of the car, cheers Matt

Ease of servicing doesn’t appear to be a priority with that design. Whatever happened to 2 or 3 screws and plug and out? Impressive tenacity Matt 👍
Engineer's don't think about the mechanics/technicians.
Cheers Matt
