A great weekend for my 9k! Blower motor and Aero seats! Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Sun, 4 Nov 2012 20:25:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So, this weekend, two awesome things happened related to my 9000. First off, I lost my 9000 virginity 10 years into the relationship. I changed my blower motor! Many, many thanks to Noel for the great writeup. The job only took me about 3.5 hours, and I went really slowly studying how everything went together and worked. It's was a LOT easier than I expected. The hardest two parts for me were getting the evaporator back in (square peg in a round hole, damn!) and getting the damn fan cage off my old motor! I ended up having to run to Home Depot for a punch because it wouldn't budge with just a hammer and screwdriver. I didn't even get one scratch or lose a single bolt on this job...nice!
Second, I picked up two Aero seats from my upholstery shop and they look amazing! I got the seats for free from a friend (passed on the rears, my rears are in perfect shape and I fold them flat often) in really rough shape (wish I had taken before pics) and had them redone as a 10 year anniversary gift for my 9k. One shop in Boston quoted me $1,800 per seat (HA!) but a place in Lawrence, MA did them for just under $500 per seat and they look perfect! I can't wait to get them in!
Just two more reasons why I will never get rid of my 9k...
