After getting the radio,cb ,voltmeter and a billion other things done, I foolishly thought I was ready to roll. So I woke up nice and early last Sunday started the van headed to the end of my laneway. The window was starting to fog up so I turned on the blower and nothing. After backing up I checked the fuses, switch and every thing else and narrowed it down to the front blower motor. Boy was that an easy removal job!!!
     Now I have a few questions(ok alot of questions).
1) does any body sell these?I have not ckecked my vw dealer yet.
2)I have the blower motor from the back heater and would like to know if these are interchangeable?
3)does the casing that goes around the motor itself come with a new one or is there some special way to remove it?My blower seems so rusted it will not budge.
4)I have thought about hooking up an after market blower into the casing and mounting this behind the glove compartment. Any thoughts?
5) is there any thing else that should be replaced while I have every thing apart?
6)In my bentley it says to spray with d-17. I have know idea what this is or where to get it.
This is all in a 85 westy. Thanks in advance Patrick Bishop
