I have to agree guys.

I spent the better part of two weekends in Jan. 25-35°F putting in my heater fan. I would much rather R&R a rear main seal than take on that heater fan. I would rather staple my toes to my forehead and remove them with a pick ax than replace my heater fan. But when the heater fan dies again I will get in there and replace it. It is amazing what we will do for our 240's.

I think that Volvo should have a badge like the High Mileage Badge for any owner that replaces his own heater fan motor. Maybe it could be something pleasent like a picture of some poor chap with a broken spine and bloodly mangled hands. Something that shows just some of the rewards of replacing the heater fan.

I could go on all night about the joys of replacing the fan but I will just leave you with these closing thoughts.

When you do get it finish you can stand back, admire your work, and think to yourself...Gosh that is a real pain in the @$$.

After replacing the fan you can join the ones of us that cringe every time we turn on the heater fan.

Finally, if you start to wander if your beloved 240 is worth all this trouble just head to a used car lot and test drive a Dodge Neon. This will remind you that it is all worthwhile.
