Can the motor be repaired instead of replaced?

Sometimes worn brushes or gears inside can be replaced, but it’s often more cost-effective to fit a new unit.

How do I close the sunroof manually if the motor fails?

Most models have an emergency mechanical override (an Allen key through a hole in the motor) — check the owner’s manual for details.

How often does this motor fail?

There’s no set schedule — usually from mechanical wear with frequent use.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
