Hi 914 World,
I heard today that that there might be some threads or videos on the process of removing the fresh air inlet box and fan/engine and just thought I'd ask if you all know where they are? My plan is to replace the fuel tank & lines and while I'm in there to refurbish the air box & fan/engine. The fan unit currently doesn't work, but I heard that a good cleaning is what most of them need. Thanks for any help, Ross |

Not sure what you mean (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Yes, start by trying to clean the contacts inside the dash. Those are ground wires that control the different fan speeds, and they often get dirty and pitted. Cleaning those may make the motor work again without having to pull it up front. Remove the ashtray to see inside, and you may be able to reach in there enough with swabs or something else to try to clean it up. You'll get better access, however, if you undo the nut that holds those controls to the firewall. That will let you remove the whole assembly from the dash a couple of inches without disconnecting any of the cables. Even if you plan on going under the hood and removing the motor assembly, you need to clean those controls. You don't want any more resistance on those circuits than is already there by design. |
