About Heater Blower Fan Motor
The Astra Vauxhall heater blower fan motor is responsible for moving air through the car's cabin heating (and if fitted cooling) system. Much like a desk fan the heater blower motor rotates a fan which causes air to be forced through the ducting and out the vents in the car's dashboard or floor.
The Astra Vauxhall heater blower fan motor is generally located behind the car's dashboard and is connected to a network of ducts which allow the fan to move air to various areas of the interior. The motor has a resistor which allows the speed to be varied via a switch or lever on the dashboard.
The AstraVauxhall heater blower fan motor can fail due to a bad connections, damaged wiring or switch, a blown fuse, a worn resistor, worn motor or because the fan is stuck or jammed against another internal component.
Vauxhall Astra trivia
- The white version of the Vauxhall Astra 1800 GTE was the first car in the UK to be colour-coded. The body trim matched the white base colour and included the skirts and the wheel arch extensions. Ford was so happy with the look that the silver, black, and red models also started to include colour-coding.
- The first Vauxhall Astra won the What Car? Car Of The Year in 1980, and came second in the European Car of the Year Award of the same year, which wasn’t bad going.
- The Bedford Astravan is the van version of the classic Vauxhall Astra!
- In South Africa, drivers could buy the MK3 Astra, which came with a turbo-charged C20LET engine. The car was sold as the 200ts, and only one has ever been seen in the UK. Luckily, the C20LET supercharged engine was also used in the Calibra and Cavalier Turbo, so Brits could still experience the thrill.
- In 1999, the Astra MK4 was awarded four stars in the Euro NCAP tests and is still considered one of the safest cars in the country.
