Mk Ii Blower Motor Parts ( Front Blower )

[hartleyhare]

Hi

 

My 03 Galaxy front blower motor started to play up - whatever speed setting I had selected - working for a minute or two then with a pungent smell I can only describe as almost garlic-like, the fan slowed to a stop. After a few seconds i could start it again for it only to stop again moments later. Since the auxillary heater isnt working at the moment ( ! ) I needed to get the front blower working again to clear misted windows if nothing else.

 

I took the blower assembly out and inspected the brushes on it - one of them in particular had completely worn down to the plastic it is mounted in.

 

Does anyone know a source of new brushes ( and in my case I need a replacement brush holder too )?

 

Seems crazy that a 10 minute job could get this up and running again like new for a matter of a few quid for new brushes.

 

Hope someone can help ?

Don't know a source for the brushes but the blower motor is readily obtainable from scrapyard/ebay etc at a reasonable price.

 

Probably easier to replace the motor.

Fair comment, - I guess the secret is to check the state of the brushes on the second hand blower before buying it !

 

I did find a company who specialise in brushes in the UK who would create some for it for around
