Hi all, can anyone point me to a diagram or picture of where the blower fan is located?
It's started being a bit noisy, so could be time to change it.
Thanks!
Blower fan location?

For people to be able to help you we're going to need a bit more information!
What model of car is it that you have?
Usually they are located in the passengers side footwell above the carpet that drops down. Underneath the glovebox.

No worries...
The blower is dead easy to remove. Just remove the three screws around its periphery, disconnect the 4 pin plug and it drops straight into your hand.
You may save the day by dropping some light oil into the motor bearings but it's tricky as it's next to impossible to remove the fan blade assembly but a gentle and well-aimed spray of something like WD40 may just do the trick.
If you get a replacement from a scrappy, remember the aircon and non-aircon types are not interchangeable.

I like Rick's description of how they built the 240, same as a Xantia except there they started off with a heater matrix...

I found my 265 quite easy to work on but never approached the heater once I had discovered that the warm air was controlled by a load of flaps, á la PSA and said flaps were operated by a vacuum pump and a set of pushbuttons on the centre console
God that was a cold November/December - we drove to Whitby every Sunday with hot water bottles and blankets. It was like a sauna once I had discovered the vacuum tube flapping in the wind
Rick is a veritable fountain of knowledge re: Volvoness and an amusing character to boot.
