2 Answers
The method to remove the blower of Peugeot 308 is: first remove the three decorative panels on the center console, then dismantle the air conditioning blower, unscrew the fixing screws of the blower, and rotate the blower clockwise with force to remove it. The following are relevant information: 1. The blower of Peugeot 308 is located in front of the co-pilot seat. If you remove it by yourself, the workload is relatively large, requiring someone to assist in completing it, and there are many accessories to be removed. 2. The blower is mainly composed of six parts: motor, air filter, blower body, air chamber, base, and oil drip nozzle. The blower operates eccentrically by the offset rotor in the cylinder, and the volume change between the blades in the rotor groove sucks, compresses, and discharges the air. 3. During operation, the pressure difference of the blower is used to automatically deliver lubrication to the oil drip nozzle, which drips into the cylinder to reduce friction and noise. At the same time, it can keep the gas in the cylinder from flowing back. This type of blower is also called a sliding vane blower.
Disassembling the Peugeot 308's blower motor actually involves five steps. First, disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits, and wear anti-scratch gloves. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, rotate the left and right buffer rods 90 degrees to remove the glove box assembly, exposing the blower motor components. At this point, you'll see the fan housing secured by three cross-head screws—use a socket wrench to loosen them, being careful not to lose the screws. When unplugging the power connector and sensor harness, press the clips gently and pull without forcing. Finally, pull the entire blower motor outward from its bracket, adjusting the angle halfway to remove it completely. When reinstalling, align the slots correctly and don't tighten the screws fully until after testing the airflow to ensure it's normal before final tightening.
