To repair the fan motor on a Nissan Qashqai J10, diagnosis is essential. Before disassembling everything, check fuse F30 (10A) and relay K12/K35. If the fan only works at maximum speed, the problem is almost always the speed regulator (or resistor: available on eBay with code 398234024916 for £17.50, free delivery), not the motor.

If it does not work at any speed, the motor may be stuck (also available on eBay with code 178035175177 for £32.62, free delivery). To access the motor, the job is laborious: remove the covers under the steering wheel, the dashboard panel, and the glove compartment.

On some models, it is necessary to also disassemble the pedal assembly (4 bolts of 13 mm + 2 screws of the support plate + the brake connector). Once access is cleared, disconnect the white connector, unscrew the fixing screw, and rotate the motor body counterclockwise to extract it. Clean the housing, install the new motor (which includes the impeller and gasket), and reassemble everything in reverse order.

If the problem is the regulator, you can replace just that, saving on the cost of the complete motor. After reassembly, test the fan at all speeds.

How to Extract the Spare Wheel from a Mercedes Vito

The spare wheel of a Mercedes Vito is located underneath the vehicle, just below the rear boot. This video demonstrates how to extract the wheel from its compartment. First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper. Insert the spanner and attach the extension to allow you to turn it and lower the wheel from under the floor.
