If I'm right, would someone be so kind as to give me hints on getting to the
blower motor on my '82 Rabbit with A/C? Apparently the airbox in the rain tray
is broken as the PO has a mess of white silicone sealing it shut. Reaching in
the hole usually covered by a screen, I can get my hand inside of the fan
wheel and it is jammed up pretty good. I can get it to turn only about an inch. I
see no instructions in Bentley, and the Haynes tries to lump all models
together. Is it necessary to discharge the A/C to get at the motor? Anyone have a
spare motor and/or airbox?


  As I recall it comes out the top of the air box.  I don't remember if it's
possible to do it with the airbox in place or not.  The only one I did, I
had out to clean it thouroughly.  Be careful if you pull the fan off though.

I nearly messed that one up and the fan in my Jetta has a wobble sound
on low, ever since I pulled the fan to lube the front motor bushing.  It
turned better but now it's annoying.  :P
