Update,
Blower started working again briefly yesterday, but the speed was all over the place, so although I think the motor is on the way out, I'm starting to agree with the resistor diagnosis, picking one up from the breakers on monday, fingers crossed as it looks like a much easier job than the motor. Typical it died again on the hottest day so far. |

Remove the glove box, 3 hour job...... I'd ask if anyone has actually attempted the job? I have on a 2009 V70. I purchased the tool (Some where) I attempted the job and realised its impossible with out removing the dashboard. All the you tube videos that I could find were on a left hand drive. On a right hand drive you will be lucky to touch it! I had the job done by Avalon Cars Wellingborough (Volvo trained mechanics) it cost me approx. £1300 from memory inc parts.

Yeah, I'll take that, I expected at least double.
It's a 2012 V70 I'm guessing your northants direction from your post, there are two Volvo specialists near me that aren't a million miles from you, the one I got the quote from is bpc in chesham and the other one is quintech in bovinhdon, who I haven't had a quote from yet but I've heard good stuff about him. |

This is perfectly possible to do yourself, just a bit of hard work and making sure to follow the guide.

Well that didn't go to plan!
Dropped car off at 9am, got a phone call at 4pm saying they trouble getting the fan, then they came out with "it's an ex police car so all the wires are soldered!" "It'll take two days" and it'll be at least £600 plus parts. Needed the car for work the next day so just went and collected it. Anyway, I thought sod it I'll do it myself, Armed myself with the special tool £70 bought an endoscope from Screwfix £70 blower motor £49 Passenger seat/carpet out CEM out Recirc unit removed Speedo out Then I found the release clip with the endoscope through the Speedo hole and slid a 1 metre aluminium ruler down to the clip and prised it apart while my helper disengaged the blower motor from the passenger side, all in all about 5 hours, and a lot easier than removing the dash, steering wheel etc Soldered wires my @£$€ |

This was probably one of those jobs that they took on, but something much easier come in like a big service or something & they went down the easy path doing that instead. So basically, you were fobbed off.

Ah well I get the car serviced every six weeks or so, so I guess it's his loss. Anyway, we have a new issue... I unplugged a box behind the dash thinking it was excess police junk, turns out it's something to do with the ignition but I'll start a new topic on that one. |
