Subject:replacing heater blower!
From:Dan Resler

My from heater blower blew, and I was shocked to learn that it costs
$100-125 to replace, depending on where you buy it. But my shock
turned to horror when my local VW mechanic looked up the labor - 4.5
hours! Wow, this is turning into a very expensive state inspection for
me ...

He said you basically have to dismantle the whole dashboard to get it
out. My question - is this a job a novice DIY person could pull off on
a Saturday without (expensive) special tools? Or is it best left to
the experts?  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
