Hi to the forum
Hello Forum,
New member from Spalding Linc. I've got a 240 estate K reg.Had it in the family for 20 years.It's just developed a problem with the heater blower.It's stopped all together this morning.Checked all the electrics that I can ,but it's looking more and more like the moter itself.So how hard is it to replace .And how do I go about it.Any help would be grateful |

Welcome to the forum.
I have not changed a heater motor, yet. But please see: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...t=heater+motor It's a good thread about replacing the heater motor. Unfortunately the picture hosting site seeme to have withdrawn the pictures. But the words are all still there in the thread. |

Mine went on my 240GLT and its been 3-4 years now unfixed. You do get a bit of natural convection of warmth but not much from 30mph. A weekend job apparently!
I still have my 1989 240 GLT auto but now use a 940 SE turbo more as a everyday car. The 940 has a working heater and now working AC. James |

Glad you have joined us - but why has it taken you 20 years?!
I took that entire fan blower assembly out of a scrap car a few months back - and it is a right pain! Took over two hours as all the dash lower fittings have to come out: mind you I'm a novice d-i-y-er and didn't want to let that part go to the scrapyard. We needed it to replace a burnt-out motor on a friends car, and I never got involved with changing his so can't advise on that part. Good luck and watch for graunched knuckles! P |

Hi Bizzie...i"ve done this job twice on my bus..if you"re a methodical practical chap its very doable..take pictures as you progress and label everything..its more of an awkward job than technically demanding..most of all take your time..plus dont put a second hand motor back in..buy a new one (hence why i"ve done it twice)..good luck and keep us posted..hj.

Argh, only just seen this thread. Stupid photobucket has changed its rules. I will try to upload the pictures to another hosting site and update my thread accordingly.
