Heater blower noise!

[Smith]

Hey guys

How do I stop my heater blower from sounding like a "pigeon" (a little squeaking noise ) when I turn it on full in the mornings

the bearing inside has gone dry with use and squeaks when you use it.

You need to drop the blower unit down from the left hand side of the car under the dash and check the bearings in it.

Try some silicone spray or WD40 in the bearing and hopefully you'll sort it out.

Cheers dude, but how do I get it out, I take it you access it via in the interior-
Is it a big job ? do need to take loads of the dash apart ?

Cheers

Its one of those pain in the arse jobs really. not to sure if you can get the motor out without having to touch the heater matrix.

Drop the passenger side shelf and look what you have, you may see the unit and be able to drop the bottom section down to get in to spray it.

I'll have a butchers on my etka and see how it goes together.

I thought it would be! 

I'll have a look tomorrow and see what I can find.

Whats an etka ?

[ridgers]

ETKA is the parts catalogue disc that VW use to list and order spare parts.


If you've ever been in the dealer and ordered something he will have used it.

It has exploded diagrams and part numbers on it so is very useful to see how things come apart.

Really !!!!!!

You could maybe help me on something else?

Check out the post I just started (copied below)

""Hey Guys and Girl

I?ve got to do some of my University, Vehicle dynamics work on a Mk2 Golf suspension set up.

Would anybody know where I could get a basic diagram of the set up or info, or even a photo of the front without an engine in it !

Cheers""


Would do you think could you help me ?

How do I get one of these CD's?

Cheers

Sure, You got a private message.?

If you need a cd then have a look on ebay. theres always Cd manuals for VW on there.

the etka discs are on there too.

the motor just clips out once you remove the bottom shelf. there is a little clip at the back whick you'll see. you pull the wee clip down and rotate the motor clockwise/anticlockwise (cant remember) and it will drop out

10 min job at the most
