Hi there the blower in my punto is hardly working anymore. Either it's not starting or when it does its loud with hardly any air out of vents. I believe it will be either the resistor and/or the motor. The garage says its best to change both as if ones going the other won't be far behind and the cost will be about £200. Was wanting to ask is this a fair price as they've always done work at a very reasonable price for me up to now. Also as someone that knows nothing about car maintenance is it a tough job to try myself?
Thanks for any advice
Just one more question about the blowers. The air that comes through the vents, where is it taken from? I always thought it was air coming through the grill at the front of the car but am I completely wrong?

Check the connector that plugs into the fan, these are renowned for heating up and having a poor connection. Had the same on mine. The connector housing was pretty melted, i cut the connector off and connected using some regular automotive shielded crimps.

Not too hard to remove the fan and check the connections. .
