mantasrme Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have another batch of my upgraded interior fans for manta B's as they were so popular last time I've been making these upgraded interior fans for customers cars for a while now and have finally got around to making a few spares. The standard manta fans are not really that good at shifting air even when working right. When they're not working right (which is quite often) its either from a seized bearing on the shaft or a worn bearing (they are brass/bronze bushes on a steel shaft) that then screams like a banshee. So i use a more modern fan from a VW Polo along with the resistor from the same car. This fan gives 4 speeds in the Polo but as the manta switch only gives 2 i connect speeds 2 and 4 to give a nice range. The full speed is much better than the original manta so actually demists the screen. They fit in the same place as the original and retain the standard plug/wiring. No modifications are needed to the car I'm offering these at £35 with the exchange of your old fan (seized or squealing is fine) or £50 outright with postage at £6 by courier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like one of your convertions when you have any spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have 6 stripped manta fans on the bench and have 3 polo fans arriving today so will start working through the list of those who have asked for one. Got another polo fan in the post on its way as well, but i think i have 8 requests for these at the moment all from the last month so will keep hunting for polo fans. My problem with getting the polo fans is the price VW breakers think things are worth. The cheapest is £10 for the fan, plus another £10 for the resistor plus postage and he doesn't have many in for long, i've asked him to tell me any time he gets a 6N polo in and i'll have the fan but he's a smaller yard Most want 15 to 20 just for the fan. I have a couple of friends looking in their local yards and will see if i can drum a few more up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldoradoCoupe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Again, Whats the 6N mean, I can check with some breakers near me - but is that a particluar type of Polo - is there a specifc year range as well? Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis K Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am after getting a fan and resistor from a mk3 6N Polo. If I sent my manta fan and polo fan and resistor to you, how much would it cost to get it done including postage back to me in the South of ireland?
