Smell of burning from heater vents

[Lthomas]

Hello, my 1983 1.6 diesels heater fan stopped working yesterday. About 10 minutes later, I started to smell burning coming from the vents I think at the front of the bus. Does this mean that the actual fan motor has burnt out and I need to lift the Dash and replace or could it be more serious. Please help as this is my first bus, and although I'm quite handy with motorbikes and have a decent tool set I don't want to risk a fire or something, thanks people

Welcome. We had the same symptoms when ours gave up the ghost a few years back, plenty of info/pics about on how to replace it. http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Co ... eplacement" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; shows how to get to it.

I'd stop using it until you fix it. I ended up with a cab billowing smoke out of the windows

Hey thanks people, that's a massive help.

Welcome!

Yep sounds like a dash out moment.

Have fun!

when my motor was failing my resistor which is inside the case was burning it's way out this makes a sort of electrical and plastic burning smell.
