That ship has long sailed, I have never seen an Audi blower motor in
normal use last anywhere this long.
I changed at least 3 of them in my 1984 5KS before it went to the great
racing ground in the sky.
I do recall it becoming a maintenance item when I had the type 44 fleet
on the road. (father, son, wife, me x 2.)
Looking back, I can't believe I had that kind of time and patience not so
long ago. ;-)
Different perspective on things when you get older...err, I mean mature.
BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
