Wow what a difference!

[Armond]

Bill Watson from Road Rockets just installed and re-built my heater box with a new fan and heater valve..WOW...now I know how nice it is to have climate control...

[jrhone]

Got a number on him? Just curious...how much did it cost?

[EastBayMitch]

What work did you have to do? Replace the heater fan? I'm in need of a heater box rebuild with a replacement fan, and I'm shopping around for prices.

Armond, I'm glad that worked out. Bill Watson is in that rare group, knowledge-wise, occupied by the like of Rob Torres and Bill Williams. I did his logo and ads years ago in exchange for an engine rebuild in the Touring (which he ended up buying—smart man). A wealth of knowledge, an uber craftsman and a really nice guy...

Congrats My Man, glad your pleased!

thanks Paul. I saw the e9 and e30 race car he had in there. I also didnt know he started Phaedrus. and a bay area 02 supporter. Rare breed full of 02 knowledge indeed.

If you don't want to pay someone to overhaul your heater box, here's the DIY guide to refurbishing it.

http://www.bmw2002faq.com/content/view/73/32/ Trust me, it's not a cheap job because you are paying a lot of labor. Pulling an 02 heater box has got to be one of the suckiest jobs involved with owning an 02. Been there, done that a few times. There was a recent post/thread about taking heater fans to local auto electrical shops for refurbishment. You may want to do the same after you receive a price quote for a new heater fan, trust me, they ain't cheap.

That FAQ is awesome. I used it as a guide and it wasn't that hard at all.

It helps a bit if you have crappy carpet in the car- leass worries.

As far as selling a Kidney, well that's better than selling the side grilles.
