Guest ccm Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have an opportunity to get a 405 Mi16. Purchase price is fine, but the car has 2 issues. One is the speedo isn't working, lower cable I am told. Second, the heater blower motor isn't working. Car has about a 150,000 miles on it. Are the blower motor and speedo cable easy to find, if so where and about how much if anyone knows. Timing belt also has recently been done, any other things to look out for on the car. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speedo cable job wasn't to bad either if i remember right (it has been a while though). Both parts should be available from http://www.westernhemispheres.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other typical problems with these cars to be aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 The climate control problem is a hassle to say the least. I think your 'supposed' to remove the dash to replace the bunk part, but there is a hack (hole on the drives side of the glovebox to get access). I think there's a link on the main page of this forum to a 405Mi16 forum, which has quite a few members last time i checked, you might want to check there... Good luck!
