Vauxhall Zafira Tourer / Zafira C 2015 / changing the heater fan blower. Part number U7254002

TOUCHING A MOVING FAN WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
I needed to change the blower fan / heater fan on my 2015 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer / Zafira C
Part number U7254002
I’m no professional, and just thought that I’d give it a go.
So please do take all the necessary precautions if you are going to try this yourself, like disconnecting the battery before you unplug and fit a fan. Use gloves, and beware of the light bulb that will burn you if it’s touched when turned on.
Do NOT turn the fan on when it is outside and not fixed and secured in its housing unit.

Awesome video, well done. It was perfect for helping me change my fan. Only difference was the old fan had no screw/bolt holding it in, but a clip that was not easy to dislodge. The new fan I just used a bolt to secure and now alls good. Saved me almost £200. Thanks again

Thanks for the video, successfully changed the fan on my 14-plate Zafira Tourer. I found that you didn't need to remove any of the panels you show on the video. I just had to pull back the soft lining which covers the fan motor in the footwell, and one 7mm head bolt which holds the air ducting in place. Once the bolt was removed the air duct drops allowing you to get the old fan out and the new fan in. The only ticky bit was turning the old fan motor while lifting the tag, which you indicate in the video, so that it passes over the catch. The power connector can be a bit fiddley but is easier to get at once the fan is out, just remember to plug the connector from the new one in before fitting the fan. All in all 10 minutes work lying on your back in the front footwell, just put something soft over the door cill to make it a little more comfortable. Thank you again.

I was about to ask if it was necessary to remove the glove box. Initial thoughts after having a good look are it isn't. You've answered my question 🙂Wish me luck, the part doesn't arrive until Monday.

Thank you so much for this video ! My motor packed up today. Managed to get it out and give it a good clean. LOTS of carbon dust came out. Working fine again now, but if it does pack up for good, i now know how to replace it ! Many thanks indeed. Wonderful video 👏

Thank you I have just fixed my fan and didn’t cost me the £500 the garage wanted Well happy only cost the £50

[@lucyrapps2811]

Thank you so much! Just fixed my fan by tapping all the black stuff out on the wall, no need to take off the panels just the glove box. I was trying to take the fan out for ages, watched your video again and then realised it just turns and you have to lift the little clip before it will slide. Many thanks

Thanks very much for the video , really useful , I’ve just changed mine today . The fan was a bugger to remove though , it was soo tight !

Great video, my wifes blowers no longer work. When you tried to use the fan when it was broken, did it show on the panel like normal. Just trying to diagnosis why before I buy a new part. You turn them on on my wifes car and the panel shows the usual things, but can hear anything and no air blowing out. Cheers

Hi TPTeeps, I had the exact same problem, the car thought everything was ok, all the displays showed that the fan was on, but no matter what setting was selected there was no response from the fan. Bought a 2nd hand fan off eBay, it was off an Astra 'J' but it's the exact same part. Just be careful that you get the correct fan for your car there is a difference between Right Hand Drive (UK) and Left Hand Drive (EU) versions. New RHD ones appear to be more expensive than the LHD. My replacement (for an RHD) was labelled as part number 25020140 on eBay, this is the number on the bottom of the motor housing, there is an additional number on the exhaust/inlet tube of 25020139 if you are unsure. Hope this helps.

Great video, just swapped my fan out for a new one, however no air coming into the car. Any ideas? RHD car and same fan blade direction as you have.

[@stephenf8816]

Thanks for the video Took mine out banged it on the desk a load of black stuff came out. Plugged it back in and it worked. For how long we will see

[@jonathanackers5214]

My local garage said a good bang on the part often fixes it. Tried it but no joy. I'll have a go at removing it and hopefully the black stuff appears.

[@paulcarruthers9489]

I need to remove mine,is there a retaining screw holding it as I can't seem to turn it? Cheers

[@neiljones7381]

How do you get the old one off please?

[@colinmale3331]

You may of done it already, but I removed one today and looking from the footwell, the motor twisted left and came down. 👍🏻

[@WDAMiNiOn]

I confirmed my fan wasnt working and fitted a new one. But cant feel the air out of the vents

[@rogerthelwell]

If the fan is spinning, but you can’t feel the air, maybe it is spinning the wrong way.
