Heater blower/matrix
« on: October 09, 2004, 10:33:45 »
Today I will be replacing the heater blower/matrix in SWMBO's 200TDi Disco.

Other than ear plugs for the kids, anybody got any pointers/tips?

I've put the full day down to do it, and allowed for tomorrow morning also.

It was an absolute pig of a job!   :evil:

Not particularly difficult, just very time consuming.

Steering wheel off
Centre console out
Dash out

Took the whole weekend.

Got the matrix/blower assembly for £25 from a mate who had just trashed his Disco (big time).  It was the motor that was at fault on mine.

If you want just the Matrix, there's one here, free to any takers.  I have no idea what condition it's in (LOOKS ok) 'cos the blower never worked while that blower assembly was in the car.  I was going to bin it, but I'll keep it for another few days.

Flush your cooling system then fit a new thermostat, if that isn't it look for leaves in the air intake.

Just found this thread.

Having similar problems with my heating, although the warm air does blow onto the windscreen it doesn't seem to blow onto the dirver/passenger!!

Would flushing the system on mine sort this?  How do I do it and is it an easy job?

As it's getting close to winter and cold mornings/nights I want to sort this rather quick like.

Cheers



Steve.

Still not sure if I'll be able to make it to Frickley.  If I can't, I can quite easily stick it in a jiffy bag for you.

There seems to be a spate of heater motors packing up.
Kev and Bev :lol: (Think car insurance advert) Hobbit and Sooty both have one that's failed.

Who's is the first one to get done? The second one might be easier?
Any tips anyone? Are there any pitfalls when rewiring or is it pretty obvious?
