V230 Fan Problems

[portvalefanjosh]

I have a v230 R reg and the fans inside will not work, they used too be a bit sticky before.But how the hell do you get behind the center console to check the connections?

What nobody know's then?

on my v220 cdi the fan is under the glove box. access is from underneath in the passenger footwell.
i changed my fan due to a vibration which came through the dash....turned out to be a piece of foam which seals the air ducts fouling the fan rotor.

removal of centre console ...i remember 2 screws in upper vent holes and maybe more underneath the squarish trim of the gear lever

My v230 p reg ...fans work then dont work particularly well as they must be sticking..I guess I will have to access them some how and lubricate the bearings,clean the contacts and check for any leafs or other bits and pieces..I once found a squirrel and nuts and part of a part made home in an air intake .
If you have to remove the console or something please let me know how to do it..
Good luck
