I have fitted the USB module and heater resistor to my van. Unfortunately my heater blower was too far gone, to the extent it was blowing the fuse each time I turned on the heater. I managed to get a new blower for £60 from Amazon and it works perfect on all settings 1-4. Cheers for the step by step videos. Great help!

Glad you’re all sorted Paul and got there in the end 👍

[@johnbird2703]

Worth doing your pollen filter when your in there!

[@JesterBushcraft]

Great to hear Andrew, thank you for your feedback 👍

[@steveeod]

Just done exactly this!! Great vid!! Mine did have some play but seems ok now it’s all back in, even if I get a couple more months out of it, I now know just how easy it is to replace

[@timbird5494]

Love your channel I did my resistor last week after watching you do yours. Luckily I didn't have a noisy fan 👍👍

[@caspervanlife8466]

Brilliant Tim, glad the video helped. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@raywilliams9808]

Thanks for the post ,wish I had seen it early before pulling dash apart thinking fan switch was stuffed .

[@caspervanlife8466]

More than welcome Ray, I’ll let you know next time I fix something and do a video 😆 hope you got sorted…

Re. greasing. I couldn't figure out how to get grease in with our getting it all over the place. Instead I had a go with bike chain lube - the bottle had a long nozzle to get between the fan blades and I just did a couple of drops at a time and spun the shaft to work it in. Did the same at the other end and it seemed to penetrate pretty well. Now, no squeaking! I have no idea how it will do in the long run but if it gives the fan a bit more life before replacement I'm fine with that. This all started with having to change the resistor and ended up doing the blower and filter - a breeze with the big trim panel under the airbag removed.

Great video thank you. I did the same and noise gone! Did you find a way to remove the fixing to the left of the hazard and cup holder ?

[@keithblues1302]

Worked great for me!!!

[@caspervanlife8466]

Nice one Keith, mines still going strong 👍

[@caspervanlife8466]

That’s great to hear Keith, mines still going strong, squeak free 👍

[@fattyfishdrones]

Hi, Great channel and great video's so just subscribed. Im just wondering how the fan is doing a year on? Thanks

[@mstaines]

Still going strong (which surprised me), but seemed to do the trick 🤞 thank you for your feedback…

[@connorkeogh2613]

How long did it last for after? Just trying to weigh up replacing or not. As it’s cold time of year and I have it apart as we speak Cheers for the info!

[@caspervanlife8466]

Connor, still going strong with no squeaks 🤞 thanks for your comment, much appreciated…

[@Bikejon]

My fan has developed exactly the same squeak today. Thanks for the video. But you didn't show the greasing! I'm not sure on that part.

[@Bikejon]

But in fairness, I did cure the issue..so thanks! 👍

[@itgoodson]

Really helpful video. But yes, would love to know how you greased it please!

[@benc1439]

Mine isn't noisy but its blown the fan resistor. Ive replaced the resistor and now it smells a bit of burning when i run the fan. Wonder whether to just replace it

[@krosowiec]

Did you replace it ? Mine does the same changed resistor and there is smell like its burning and the resistor gone after week so ordered new fan and pollen filter now hope it will be fine

[@benc1439]

​@@krosowiec yeah replaced it quick sharp and the smell went away
