How do you change the heater motor on a Volkswagen Golf mark 3?

Answer 1

The heater motor is found on far side of passenger side of the interior. It is accessible by removing the shelf if fitted and the dust cover on the bottom of the motor. You can then move the thin foam sheet out of the way and will then be able to see the motor. Disconect the 4 socket white plug from the resistor you will see on the side of the motor. Reach round the back to find the plastic tab that stop the motor from being able to turn. Pull the tab down by about 5mm then turn the motor about a 1/4 of a turn. The motor will then drop out. The resistor unclips by pulling a tab near the top of the metal plate. Pull the spade connectors from the resistor noting theyre orientation. Fit the resistor to the new motor clip in place. Push the motor into the housing, ratate until the clips line up. Rotate the motor until the motor clicks in place. Check the resistor is facing in the correct direction and replace all the parts removed.
