      Glad you got there. Yeah it's pretty awkward trying to get into position and that 5.5mm is a pain in the butt until you slot it. Some folks manage without taking the glovebox off and I imagine them contorting into weird positions like that Eugene Victor Tooms guy from the x files. Happy motoring!

      Heya Paul. Well to be honest I guess it depends on wether it annoys you enough to want it looked into haha. Maybe you have an awesome stereo that could drown it out haha.
      If it's an electrical buzzing, I would personally maybe try disconnecting the electrics, checking them for any physical damage such as charring or burning of the contacts etc. If they seem ok, try re-connecting them and see if it fixes it.
      If it's the fan itself or the piping that that the air goes through, you could try checking them for debris and the fitment to see if theres anything that could be out of place and causing the buzz.
      Best of luck matey.

    • @NeillWylie

      There's a single small bolt holding the resistor in place, once you remove it, the whole shebang should come out and you'll be able to see the resistor and where it connects to the cabling. To remove it from the cable, there is a little clip on the long side of the plastic plug that you have to depress. I reckon I might do a video on the resistor as I have had a few questions on it.

Since then I have swapped out the part with a generic one I got from the internet that has different colours where I marked the correct colour with appropriately coloured electricians tape. All I did for the order was number the cables from one side of the plug to the other, then join them to the new plug in the same order.

    • @NeillWylie
      @NeillWylie  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your heaters don't heat up quickly, that is likely to be another issue. There is an "Interior heater matrix" that the air is passed through before it enters the cabin. If there is air in this heater matrix, or if none of the heated coolant is passed through this heater matrix, then the air will remain cold. If you check online for a way to bleed air from the coolant system in particular the heater matrix I have mentioned, it is likely you'll get heat again. If you don't, further investigation will be required.

    • @NeillWylie
      @NeillWylie  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Tahir. When I was having problems I checked things in this order.
      1. I first checked the fuse box in the engine bay. If I remember right it was a Large Green 30a Fuse in position F5.
      2. I think it's worth checking out all of the plugs and sockets connections for the parts. Some may have come loose. Sometimes this is as simple as unplugging and re plugging them. Other times they may need a little clean.
      3. I checked the resistor which had blackened and melted contacts on the pole that controls position 1 on the blower motor in my case. This stopped position 1 from working in my fan. To check the resistor you would need a multi meter and would need to check the connections from the pins to the poles. If its visibly damaged, I think it would be safe to assume that you need a new resistor.
      4. The fan itself. Sometimes like I showed in the video, the copper commutator can become clogged from residue from the soft, black, carbon brushes. If the Copper commutator is black, give it a good clean. If the fan isn't free and easy spinning, this can cause the resistor to burn out.
      5. It may be the actual switch on the dash. Unfortunately I don't have experience working with this bit of kit. If I had no luck with the fuse, plugs, resistor and fan, this would have been my final check.
      Best of luck Tahir!!

    Nice video. I bought a corsa not long back its heater was broken. Worked on 4 that was it. Got a resistor motor off internet swapped them over every dial worked perfectly. Now couple weeks later it’s temperamental works when it wants and when its been on a while it screams. Any ideas

    • @NeillWylie
      @NeillWylie  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the resistor is new I think it might be the fan itself. If the fan is stiff enough to stop it from rotating moving, the resistor can overheat and burn out. If it's neither the fan or the resistor that are the problem, then it may be the switch that changes between fan speeds though in my experience, this is unlikely. I don't think it's the fuses that have gone as you have said it's still working occasionally. I suppose you could remove the fuse inside the car and in the engine bay to give them a clean and re-seat them if you really wanted?
      Personally, I would remove the resistor and check it for signs of burning out. I would also remove the fan and take it out of the casing to check that the fan spins easy and free. I would also check the connection between the brushes and fan motor to make sure they arent fouled. Best of luck!

    Hi Neill, I'm in Aberdeen and fan just stopped a couple of days ago - where did you order the replacement unit from? I just got quoted about £350-450 worst case for an auto electrician to do this job for me. With this video, I feel very confident that I could do the work myself. Thanks, Greg

      Hey hey. If you haven't already done so, remember to check your fuses and resistor first before replacing the fan as they're a lot cheaper. You will be able to see the broken fuse or the burning and charring on the resistor poles if this is the case and their replacement will save you some money if they are the problem.
      I can't remember exactly where I got this fan now but you can get the fan here www.eurocarparts.com/heater-motor/?promo=MID60 at the moment 12/01/2021 and apply the code MID60 to your checkout to get the fan for about 70 quid. If you look on ebay you may be able to get it cheaper. Have fun and best of luck.

    Thanks for this. My heater was making a weird noise and when I took the fan out, as per video, a mouse had made a nest in it, believe it or not. No mouse but a lot of torn-up paper :-)
    A very well-made video. So many people hold the phone in one hand, a screwdriver in the other and a torch between their teeth, and you can't see what the hell is going on.
    Well done, that man!

      Thanks very much for taking time to comment and I'm glad the mouse didn't end up in the worlds wildest fairground ride when you turned the fan on 🤣

      @@NeillWylie That's one of the disadvantages of keeping your car in a garage :-) On a general point: most people only bother to post when it's a complaint ... so bear that in mind when reading reviews on Amazon or TripAdvisor. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.
