| heater fan replacement
I am in the process of replacing my heater fan. I have studied the excellent writeup on clubgwagen.com. I have a few things to add: It is not needed to drain the coolant as the firewall pipes are higher than the radiator /engine.
I might be easier to remove the whole dashboard, with the instrument panel. I used 2,5 hours to get it all out and disassemble the heater. I then discovered that I have got the wrong motor 12V instead of 24V.
High pressure cleaned dashboard:
Pull the floor plugs and flush out the coolant:
regards
Torfinn

Torfin, I will be doing a diesel transplant to a Swiss military G230
In the process I will be converting from 24 to 12 volt so will
have 24 volt blower and wiper motor and other various parts
left over. Motor is 230 with sealed ignition and alternator wires,
great for offroading in the wet.

Why do you want to convert it to 12V?
The dealer sent me the wrong motor so now he is sending me the right one. I paid around $340 for the motor. 24V have several advantages, greater starting capability in the winter, brighter headlights 60W vs 55W.
Supply of parts is very good in norway, as several dealer have bought parts from the norwegian military.
