Subject:odd heater fan part number Q?
From:Jeff Oxroad

I got a heater blower fan for the front heater from an 88 Vanagon in a
wrecking yard. The heater unit shell was not split and so it would seem had the
original factory heater motor in the shell. I split the shell and took out the
electric fan with the part number 321 819 021 A.  printed on it. A manufacture
date of 88 was stamped in the side. The Vanagon seemed to be all stock and
certanly not modified in the heater shell area.

I see ETKA lists the heater fan motor for 83-91 Vanagons as 251 819 015  the
Bus Depot lists the same fan as 321 819 015.

Anyone know what gives? will the 321 819 021A  work and fit in my 83.5
watercooled bus? Maybe there was a different part number for the installed fans and
the replacement fans?

I'd like to make sure I have the right fan before I dismantle the dash.

( I see the BD lists 321 819 015 as a Eurovan fan BUT this part number does
not include the suffix "A" as on the fan I found. The fan I got out of the
Vanagon does not look at all like a eurovan fan from what I see in ETKA.)

Thanks
