How do you remove a heater blower motor from a Peugeot 106?

Answer 1

This answer is applicable to Peugeot 106 1996 to 2001 and specifically right hand drive. It may be applicable to some earlier and later models and Citroen Saxo of similar years.

Raise the bonnet and remove the windscreen wipers (13mm nuts)

Unclip and remove the plastic shroud that runs along the bottom of the entire windscreen. Be careful of the star like little washers each end and avoid damaging the screen glass when removing them with pliers.

Remove the plastic covering the wiper motor (same silly little nuts exist)

Remove the wiper motor (3 x 10mm nuts).

Looking from the front of the car you will now see the flimsy sponge piece covering the air entry to the heater blower unit. Remove this and the plastic cradle below.

Working from inside the car, remove the far right drivers side air vent (it pops out).

Reach up under the drivers side dashboard foot well and disconnect the electrical multi plug from the blower unit.

Disconnect the plastic air channel which runs from the far right vent you popped out to the centre vent junction box to the left of the steering column. This is fiddly so don't be afraid to bend it a bit.

Return to the outside under the bonnet and remove the two 10mm bolts either side of the blower unit securing it to the bulk head.

Carefully turn the unit inside the car so it can be removed and dropped down.

Replacement is reverse of the above.

Strongly advise an RTV sealant is used to secure plastic shroud under windscreen upon re-assembly.

You may find it usefulk to remove the steering wheel before you start to save it getting in the way but its all Torx fastenings inside the 106 and the steering binacle and wheel removal uses these too.
