Hi. I have a Iveco 50C17 2006 motorhome. Has anyone replaced this small servo motor under the dash. My dealer quoted a price of $5000-6000 to replace this part, saying the dash has to be removed. I am reasonable mechanical minded and was wondering if anyone out there has removed the dash and may be able to post a link from a workshop manual showing the steps to do this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
Can't find an Iveco on YouTube but plenty of other makes, this work is more of a Auto Electrician/Vehicle AirCon instead of Mechanic.
My preferred Auto Electrical does both so ring around you will probably find it is accessible when you know the bits and pieces you need to remove to get to it.
With $5000-$6000 they probably have never done it before or they are trying to scare you off.
Thanks Kebbin. I think you are correct in saying they didnt want to take on the job. I will talk to my local auto electrician and see what he has to say. Thanks for your input.
From your description it sounds similar to something to what Ranger/BT50 utes have which in their case is called a "blend door actuator" (if you do a google search you'll find a lot of info). Basically on the models with auto climate control it adjusts the amount of hot and cool air in line the temp you've selected on your heater/aircon system.
On Ranger/BT50s it's not uncommon for them to fail - in my case it was constantly blowing hot air on the passenger side despite being set to blow cool air. Luckily on my model it's an approx $30 replacement part, and while a bit awkward to get to, it is not necessary to remove the dashboard (took me about 30 mins to replace). On some other types of vehicles it may possible be necessary to remove the entire dashboard so perhaps this is what you are being quoted for???
Oops I just reread your post and saw that you are being quoted to remove the dashboard. Maybe someone has done it before and done a youtube video of it? That's how I found the best way to do mine.
