I always appreciate anyone who takes the time to shoot a video to help others. Having said that, the video is awful. I can't make heads or tails out of what you are trying to show us. Good lighting, a steady hand and pointing out what we are supposed to be looking for is always most helpful. Cudos to those who found this helpful and cudos to you for trying.
I am happy that I inspired someone to do it by themselves. I did not call volvo on purpose because i am sure they would have made me curse a lot after i hear the price. I this 1600 including the part or not. Also keep in mind volvo most likely removes the full dash because they wont be breaking the screw as most people do on the internet this is why it will be more expensive and also i prefer my dashboard not to be removed.
Great video mate. Great! I'm disabled from a motorcycle wreck 10 yr ago and I'm 6'2" tall and 290lbs. I watched the entire video. I'm 52, stubborn but gonna price replacement tomorrow. And labor included. I just don't think I can do it. I own 06 XC90. If you were nearby I'd pay you $300 in labor to do it. Thanks again mate. Charlie
Update a year later (not even year later). The fan started to stop and start without any apperant reason. i will try to find from where i bought it to let you know not to use the same supplier.
I would assume yes because i bought a fan from one junk yard and they had RHD fans and they were mirror image. Procedure will be the same question is if you have easy access to all 4 screws. if you dont you have to sacrifice one of them. But this is small tradeoff for the work/money savings you will have. Also have to add that this car has not very good A/C especially for places like Dubai where i live
The place I went to told me it would cost $1887. I’m so glad I found this video. Is there any specific tools I would need for this? I wanna make sure I have everything I need to replace it
I am admittedly a little concerned when you are willing to undertake such a job, but shy away from unplugging the battery - literally a 30 second operation.
i wanted to but realized i need light then i realized it can fall on my head still spinning. so the solution is to have some separate light source and unplug the battery
@@jumpingPeter Thanks for the reply. Noone among us is innocent from taking a shortcut that in hindsight we would do differently. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this man. I’m on my fourth blower motor in 10 years. I’ll be doing it when it warms up. Intermittent. It was about 800 bucks per pop at the dealer. You recommend doing the resistor at the same time?
@@jumpingPeter It finally died last night. It is finally warm outside so I am ready. Ordered from fcpeuro, about $150 both fan and resistor TOTAL. Again thank you from USA.

Yeah thats what it has been. I have to replace these every 4 years.

I live in Dubai otherwise i'd love to help out
I did manage to get it out replace the fan + resistor(in my case it was f**ked ) in under an hour and a half start to finish …. Good luck
i am glad it worked :)
Good video. Will do this within next few weeks. Thank you for making it.
I've worked on trawlers, clam dredge boats and on a seatow boat with no problem but watching this video made me seasick
awesome Jon. Please shoot me a link to your video tutorial and i will gladly link it in the desctiption!
Thanks mate,

Amazing job!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!! 😁
Where did you get the parts?
Hi Peter, excellent work! How long did it take, from start to finish? Thnx!
about 2-2.5 hours
@@jumpingPeter thank you! :)
My car is a right hand drive UK car, is it a similar procedure.

nothing specific. only screw driver Phillis type and tools to disconnect the battery
sorry not philips but T25
That looks like a pain in the ass…. Mine stopped working on the weekend, unfortunately it doesn’t look like it was the fuse 😢

Yes because it is a lot of work to disassemble it so it is not worth the risk

Only shows half the job
Yes the other half is the first half in reverse
Awful.
why awful
What terrible camera skills
sorry for that. shoot me a link with your video
