Such a brilliant how-to. Detailed, clear, well-filmed.

Replaced my heater blower and resistor today after watching this video. Heating had stopped working. All sorted now. Great video - thanks for sharing. Much appreciated 👍👍

[@themowerman]

Boom.. fantastic your welcome.. hope it's nice and warm now

[@gregwoodward4991]

SIR You have one Hell of a sence of Humour. I've now been TRYING to remove fhe resistor for 4 hours

[@themowerman]

Lol.. good luck..

[@TheRustyRooster]

Good job ol buddy nice to have the comfort of cold and hot air again

[@themowerman]

Oh yes mate.. and a cheap fix too..

[@NicoleBritnell]

My heater just stopped working today, being a spark I instantly thought fuse. However, your comment at the end about water leaking in through the motor being a contributing factor to it packing up, it all made sense. In really heavy rain water appears in my passenger footwell. Going to order a new motor right now to fit in a couple of days. Cheers for the video, appreciate it

[@themowerman]

Your very welcome.. hopefully it sorted for ya

[@NicoleBritnell]

Yay, all done and blowing a hoolie in there now.....actually got my hand stuck half way through putting the resistor back in though 😂

Very similar to the Zafira. We had two go on the Zafiras we had. This was just before Vauxhall admitted there was a fault. They then replaced all the bits I had put in!

Branching out Mick, love it. Nice “how to” video. I just fixed my hot tub impeller, I should have videoed it to help others out. Good idea to test the new motor 1st too.

[@themowerman]

[@peterreeve8663]

Mick shows us how to demistify changing a blower motor. Sorry couldn’t resist a bad pun! I must say that is easy in a Astra. We had ours go in a Citroen C1 and it was a dashboard out job. I got my mechanic mate to do it as I haven’t got the patience!

[@themowerman]

Yeah I did Mrs p one on her grand C4 that was not to bad

[@dodgeball1625]

Cheers from Australia I have a problem with the fan speed and your video has certainly show me where to look all the best

[@themowerman]

great hope you get it fixed

[@isaacharvey]

I'm sorting out fan issues in my Astra, and it seems that if the fan motor is ok it should still run on the highest speed setting even with a faulty resistor, as the high setting bypasses the fan resistor(s) and the thermal fuse in the fan resistor. In my case the thermal fuse had blown, possibly from an ageing fan or blocked pollen filter causing additional current-draw through the resistor(s) and therefore more heat buildup.

[@stephencrozier396]

Mine is still working on highest speed but not on others so have just ordered a thermal fuse, so thanks for that ! That said I may replace fan as well as perhaps with age it might be drawing to much current.

[@si4632]

[@huli1gun]

thank you for video!!

[@markcox1028]

Thanks for this video, I used it to go through the steps to replace my seized blower. Had to happen in November when it's cold. I should point out (an observation, not a criticism), that behind my glove box, it's laid out a little differently. My Resistor was much harder to reach and looked completely different, I suspect I have climate control and you have air conditioning. Also the fan didn't quite pull out as easily as yours. Anyway, these minor differences didn't stop your video being priceless to me so thanks again.

[@themowerman]

Ok thanks for the update.. hope you got it up and running again..

[@MANKUB123]

Great Video Mick. Gonna get mine done 💯 and report back. Thanks again. Top man!

Hi Mick, that was a great video. If my blower works on 4 does it means I only have to change the resistor? I’ll add I have changed the resistor 2 weeks ago and again doesn’t work , only on setting 4 🤔

Hi . YES Got it done. The problem was the Resistor had got really Hot and melted itself into its housing. IT WAS SOLID.. In the end I had to remove the Pollen Filter and cut away until the Resistor come loose. Then I had to fabricate new panels and rivet them in position to provide a new housing for the Resistor. It really WAS a NIGHTMARE. I'm completely Tooled up to do the job and I'm a Panel Beater of 30 years. I thought I'd have it done in an hour 😵‍💫 I'm now wondering how many Astras have have caught fire over the years due to red hot Resistors. I guess I was just unlucky.
