Now for the next job on my baby. As per title, how do I change the heater motor on my Coupe 16v?

Is is hard to do, do I need any special tools etc?

All help, as always, is gratefully received.

:beerchug: in advance,

Col.

It's above the glove box, so need to remove this first. The blower motor is removed by twisting to one side, then dropping it down (like a lightbulb!), unplug the cable and you're done.
I think you can get at the impellor from above - through the air intake, if it just needs oil?

Thanks for your reply Scott. I wish it did just need oil, but it got soaked when the water deflector had been incorrectly fitted and hasn't worked since :(. I just hope I don't need any massive sockets or torx bits, as I have neither! I've already had to borrow the socket to take the steering wheel off and the temp sender lol.
