Re: T30 Blower Fan (noises and relay replacement)


Hi Jimbr,

Firstly please do not worry about replying to an old thread. This is the best way as it keeps all questions and information on a topic in the same place making it easier to find by any member at a later date...just like you did emoticon

Secondly, I had no problem accessing the pic you mentioned on page 8 so please try again by clicking on the pic and it should show up in another tab. It does say to remove the ECM after loosening the bracket.

Re: T30 Blower Fan (noises and relay replacement)


Thank you for your reply Kev.
I changed tablets and yes it opens on a Android tablet. I was using an old Ipad 2 I guess it is a bit obsolete like me. However I did not find it very helpful. I have ordered another motor. When it comes I will have a go then do up the old motor. As I have gotten older I have lost all my self confidence. When I was younger I would have just got stuck into it. I have had some achievement today at least I now know it is the fan bearings.
Kind Regards Jimbr

Just remember what it says in the last note "directions and pics are for LHD with RHD models being symetrically opposite".
So the ECM will be on the left of the motor and you will remove the motor to the left and then down.

Re:


Thanks Kev.
I can't say I am looking forward to doing it . I used to do all my own mechanical stuff but now I have lost all my confidence.
If I can get another unit from the wreckers for a low price I might buy it. Not thinking of fitting it but I can at least look at it and be confident where all the fixings are and maybe pull that one apart and fit the new bearings leaving my car intact while doing it.
Kind regards Jim

Re:


Hello again from Jim . I know this won't get much approval.I bought a complete assembly from the wreckers with the intention of fitting a new motor then doing a quick swap over. However the one I bought I removed the bottom section and cleaned up the housing and removed the cowl and gave it a good clean. I cannot detect any sideways movement on the motor shaft even when the cowl was refitted there is very slight end float I powered it up on the bench and it runs smoothly I have tipped it upside down and sideways tapping it as well and there are no noises coming from the motor I think the motor may have been replaced at some point because there was evidence of it been apart before. So tomorrow I am going to try and fit this as it is .I will use my upper housing mated to this bottom section. The top housing section has a rod missing from it so that is why Inwill mate my upper housing . Do any rods have to be disconnected when removing this unit. I am still very nervous about doing this. I guess I am concerned about setting off the air bag . I never use to think twice about doing jobs on cars now I am over 70'it worries me.
Kind Regards Jim (Jimbr )

Re: T30 Blower Fan (noises and relay replacement)


Howdy Jim.
I too am now in my 70s and would also be hesitant as you are to tackle such tasks. I'm sure that someone on this forum will be able to provide the right advice to help alleviate some of your concerns. I have the T31 so can't comment on your T30 issues but if I had fan blower noises I would probably attempt to have a go to fix myself...of course with guidance from fellow forum members and previous posts.
I do have a slight RHS CV joint shudder on my T31 and am still considering having a go and replacing that myself. There are many good posts on "how to do it" but like you, I am still a bit hesitant. Any way, only a slight shudder at take off but smooth the rest of the time.

Cheers and good luck with your blowe fan replacement.

Re: T30 Blower Fan (noises and relay replacement)


Hello,Dave .
Thank you for your reply. Well I bit the bullet today and replaced the blower motor. The one I got from the wreckers seemed to be ok . I have ordered another motor and resistor for the speed control but they did not arrive in my impatient time zone. What a pig of a job of an old codger to tackle . Oldcodgertitus setting in. Not technically difficult just painfully awarkwrd I found getting off the connectors difficult to release the locking tabs with my hands which are not very strong and I have the shakes very badly in my hands the rest of me is ok just my hands . I found replacing the middle screw which is on the right hand side almost impossible battled with it for more than an hour . I did eventually get it in . The other annoying bit was I got it all in but trapped the wiring for the motor and the speed control resistors behind the unit and had to take it all out again. Some of you as indicated on the forum that you were done and finished in about 3 hours he took me 7 hours . Anyway the result is it is good , can now turn to the right without a horrible noise coming out of the fan housing . I am sure if I have to do it a second time down the track it will be quicker, not that I ever want to comptemplate that. I guess if you are in the senior age group and can afford to have it replaced by someone it might be a consideration if you can find someone honest that you can trust. Did I enjoy this, definitely NOT! I was worried about setting off the Passanger side air bag however it survived . I hope this may help someone else.
Kind Regards Jim Braddock. Jimbr

Re: T30 Blower Fan (noises and relay replacement)


Too right, sound like you earned your beer on this one. If it's any consolation, I don't know many mechanics who like the idea of doing anything in the dash very much so even if you have an honest one you're unlikely to get an honest quote!

Not much choice for many of us other than DIY.

Come round to my place next time with a 6-pack to ensure we maintain the rage. I'm a glutton for punishment and have done some shockers, so nothing scares me any more. Luckily my fingers can still get into the tight spots but TBH the trick in most cases is mostly the right little tool and having a spine you can dislocate in 15 places!

Well done, and thanks for sharing the gory details ;-) Rev's right, it'll help someone!
