blowers not good

[frankej]

hi, my calibras blowers dont work very well, i put them on full & it makes a loud deep whirling noise & takes forever to de-steam my windows, i also open the air vents & cant feel much air coming out. does anyone know the problem???

[Callyman]

If you are sure the fan is working then it'd prob not that. Have you got a pipe off somewhere behind the dash? that would some of the pressure away from the others

[frankej]

i'll have a poke about when the rains off, if it goes off seems like a pipe's missing but the blower makes more noise than in the last 2 i had

had this with mine before, check the pollen filter there's a good chance it either full of crap or it's saturated with water

hi ally, is the filter the bit under the plastic casing where the blower is?

[Allys Cally]

pop the bonnet lift the plastic panel and it sits inbetween the wipers

[Fraz]

could be the cable has come off the heater sliders and its stuck between window and floor, or any of the others

[Allys Cally]

thought about that as well Fraz but thought it be better checking the filter first before ripping the heater panel out

[Fraz]

no I would check the filter first as well

i'll have a look when the weathers better, its getting dark now & the rain is still heavy

[frankej]

dont know, just a little comes out the air vents when blowers on full & blowers make hell-ov-a-noise

[Allys Cally]

thats what mine was doing you'd have it on full and there would be little or no air at all. i whipped the fiter out and it was like a force 10 gale coming out the vents. the fiters are only a fiver to replace. try the fiter first mate then you'll know if it ain't it then it's your heater panel

as ally has said it will be the filter
i remeber some one hand a mouse nest in one

[Allys Cally]

yes can remember emptying it onto your garage floor

i had a poke about & the filter looks almost black, found a couple of leaves on top of it & a few small stones on top. plus i noticed the wiper arms have damaged some of the filter too, is that normal?
