Are all heater/blower covers the same
 

The plastic panel that covers the blower motor inside the engine compartment below the skuttle panel - #30 in picture. For some reason in the back of my mind I thought I had heard the one for Air conditioned cars was different - or is this the metal panel this screws on to I am thinking about - #11 in picture.
Thanks David

It is indeed different between aircon and non-aircon. Items number 11 and 30 are for non-aircon cars, on an aircon car item 12, 13 and 14 replace item 11. Item 30 is not there on an aircon car.

What he said. A/C has a plastic cover over the blower motor(and the cooler thingy) too, but that's not in the picture for some reason. Isn't the firewall different too? With holes for the recirculation or something?

The firewall is indeed also different. The cover for the blower motor and vaporizer is just the outside of the aircon unit.

BTW, this is as good a place as any to mention this - if your A/C has juice but doesn't work, it's most likely the de-icing switch. Still available from Ford, as it's the same part used in all Scorpio & Escort units. Replacing's not too bad, with small hands you can do it on your friendly neighborhood Ford service dealers parking lot, by removing the battery and part number 13. This of course applies to LHD cars, for RHD cars www.fordscorpio.co.uk has a useful how-to under A/C modification.

My saff had air con and it has a different cover over the heater motor.

Can i get a copy of where you get these part pictures from please.

My 4x4 sapph has that as well. But it's a retrofit kit, as factory fitted aircon was not available at the time for the Cosworth, only for the standard Sierra.

Here's something for you Glen http://eucatparts.com/?action=cat_fo...&s_id_model=71

I've been wondering about the dealer-fitted kits, did they modify the firewall too?
Some differences in factory and dealer fits are obvious, like the different arm for the turbo heat shield, but can't very well see the firewall from the outside.

Thanks for that matey. My fire wall is modded. Its a long rectangle cut out with mess over the top.

Thanks for the replies guys. Glenn - sorry I have been on days off so did not see your question until now (usually look at this stuff at work) but the link given is indead the site I got the parts drawing from.

is a step further back in case you want to look up a ford other than a sierra 87 - 93 including

for the earlier sierras (3 door)

Thanks for that it will come in handy.
