Here I go again... 75 914/4 2.0 My heater blower motor (that mounts in the rear engine area next to the relay board) only has ONE output opening for a hose. I don't see in any of the PET or online places that such a motor even exists. All the ones I see have two ports for hose connections. So, am I missing parts or is this another oddity? BTW - I'm 90% certain I have a CA car. Thanks, Confused in Tampa, Len |

The 70-72 fans had two outlets, 180-degrees from each other.
The 73-74 cars had fans with a single outlet, hooked only to the driver's side J-tube. The passenger's side one was capped with a plastic cap that had the VW logo and a part number on it. The 75-76 cars had the single-outlet fans, but there was a splitter attached to that single outlet so hoses could run to the J-tubes on both sides. The OP's car could be an early-75 that was using the 74-style parts because they were on hand. There are a number of other instances of similar things happening around model-year transitions. --DD |
