WTB: Behr/Bosch heater motor

Post by NH Bimmer »

Anyone have one of these that they want to part with? I just pulled mine and its completely shot. Looking at a couple on Ebay, but thought I'd rather find it on here.
Thanks!

I guess the question is: what do you consider cheap? Cheap enough and I might be able to wait a while.
Thanks,

One other possible option is to source out a non-oem blower. That's what a lot of us have done to our e23's. We found that a Fasco motor from a Mopar fits for 1/5th the price of a Bosch.

I'm about see if I could do the same to my e28 in the next couple of weeks. The process involves some trial & error work by having your friendly parts place pull a bunch of motors off the rack and visually inspecting the dimensions for a fit.

I need the cages as well as the motor as mine are brittle and have some broken fins. Plus, the parts places around here have a hard enough time getting the right parts when they have the numbers right in front of them.

Hmmmph! You need a Zip code to even look :x The only Zip code I've got is on my trousers (or should that be pants?).

No thanks Johnny - mine's OK, just curious. You know you guys are really spoilt for motor factors and after market parts :shock:

Buy the new motor from Steve and get the cages from someone here on the board....
I bought the new motor from Steve last year and did not regret it for a second.....$$ well spent.
