I gave Paul a lift home from Pontyclun this morning, he’s waiting to find out what’s wrong with his car.

Did some work on the Passat, the heater blower motor packed in a while ago which makes it pretty much undriveable in cold and wet weather. The main dealer charges around £200 for a new blower motor and I believe something over £500 to supply and fit it. 🙁 Managed to source a new unit for under £100 with next day delivery. It’s a bit of a pain to remove and fit the blower motor, it involves removing the glove compartment but the passenger air bag is positioned in such a way as to make it almost impossible to remove the motor without removing the air bag. 🙁 I took the easy way out, disconnected the battery and removed the air bag. 🙂
