Great vid, thanks. Couple of notes to save extended reference to Haynes manual like I had today... 1. It's 1 T20 torx not a T15. 2. It's righty loosy, lefty tighty, at least it was on my 2010 Australian Passat. As in, turn blower clockwise to remove, anti to install. For the record: fuck brushed motors. Horrible things. May you have an easier time than I did. P.S. You probably don't even need to remove the glovebox to get this done, in hindsight. However, being able to see what is going on the first time you do it is very helpful. Awesome tip on the glovebox removal.

Perfecto!

Have been looking for a hour to find how to do this to my exact car but no one has it and yet scrolled past ur video and everything was identical to mine I’m happy

(Watching in 2024) I’m telling my kids this was GOD him self

Just spent £19.99 on Trim & Audio removal kit, wish I'd seen this 1st. Took 5 Min to do it, Oh well trim kit will come in handy one day I suppose. Cheers

Genius, as easy as that wow, big thank you.

Thank you very much for posting this, took 10 minutes to swap the blower.

Cheers mate! F*cking legend!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

GG… good guide… no nonsense!

Great video

Worked a treat thanks mate

👍👍

I guess I'm fucking stupid or something, but I'm glad it all worked for you, did not do shit for me.

Wish someone would show the inside of the frame where the knife has to go. Want to understand how it disconnects from the radio itself.

Great video , i unplugged the air bag of the left hand side of the draw , no i have an airbag light on the dash 🤦🏻‍♂️ !! Any idea on how to get ride of that ?! Thanks

The "jiggery pokery" is what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

Thanks for this! Is this how to access the parking sensor buzzer too? On the RHD models

I tried to do it, and it wont go off. Any suggestions?

Glad I saw this thank you

Thanks for your post. I lost the special tool I received from Crutchfield several months ago and, after searching the house and garage for days, I finally thought to check KZbin and came across your video. The old butter knife trick slipped my mind ages ago and this brought it back. Much appreciated!

Nice shot of the latch mechanism. NOT. Nice shot of your arm. Pfffft.

Nice I don’t know where my keys went 😂

Good guy temazepamania: Posts youtube without 1 hour long backstory and just shows how to do it instead.

Thanks dear for this video its help me to change my passat 2013 1.6 blower

Great video. It was a great help with fixing my car. Only observation is I think you are rotating fan assembly in wrong direction. It’s clockwise to loosen and remove, anti clockwise to tighten. It works easier that way and the shape of the plastic tabs is clearly tapered for this direction. I definitely fits easier this way,

Great, giving new thieves the idea

the sooner you get to it, the sooner we get through it! thumbs up!

This saves me so much time! Fan was only running on 3 and 4 so guessed resistor bank. Should have just changed it but wanted to check the fan was free running and no issuers. This guide and the slot trick worked perfectly. Thanks for putting it together!

thank you so much for this video i was having a nightmare trying to change the blower over. This was clear and very concise. My only issue was when it came to re-installing the blower an securing it the bloody clipped snapped! That bit is an absolutely mare.

Can you do a video how to remove it without two butter knives? Lol 😂

Simple, quick explanation without bullshitting on for half an hour!!!! Well done 👏 👍

Great video. I was hoping to just replace the worn out brushes... but struggling to find 8mm x 8mm replacements. For quite a while our fan cut in on left hand bends and cut out on right hand ones!

Fantastic video! My blower motor stopped worked all together a few weeks ago. I followed this video and was able to remove my my old one and with the help of lots of WD-40 and a toothbrush it's now working perfectly. I did find the hardest part locating the blower back into position.

New fan installed and all working. I could not have done it without the help of this great video.

Brilliant video.... I need a new screwdriver.

Hi, excellent calm narrative. My wife has a 2011 VW CC. The blower either comes on immediately or several minutes after driving. It sounds healthy, so I was wondering are these the symptoms your car had too? many thanks

👌

Parting out my car😢and I wanna hold onto my radio 👌🏽👌🏽

Thank you for this video ! Help me more.

Do I have to make the umhhum sounds too when removing the radio?

Still works 😜… thanks for the time saver!

u the man lol thanks for the video

Cool! It worked. Thank you for this video.

Good video !!!!

Thank you, I put a new motor in today!

you are aweomse

Hello, the polystyrene cover at the very start of the video is missing on mine, which seems to be meaning that air is leaking straight into the foot well and not much is making it to the blowers. Motor seems to be working fine. Do you know what this part is called so that I can replace it?

EXACTLY what the other commenters saying, gets to the point !!

worked perfect, thank you 5stars 👍🏼
