Another quick one, I noticed on fan speed 1, it's abit noisy on start up and when I switch it back to 0 and it slows down, it is noisy. Can I just remove that grommet under the cubby hole on the passenger side and spray some White grease up? Didn't want to just do it and break something.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated

Remove the passenger side lower tray, disconnect the heater and drop it down to remove.  Once out you can spray the motor.  Very common on mk2s!

Thanks pigbladder, something to do at some point in the future for sure. For now it tells me the right time though but it's good to know the original can probably be sorted!

Dragonfly, thanks for that, I have just been in the garage and have taken it out and taken the motor and White fan out of it's housing. Is it just a case of getting some ptfe White grease or copper grease and spraying it in and around each end? I'll have to go and buy some tomorrow. Just going to clean the fan now before top gear!

Cheers for all the help, this forum has been great for it so far. You are all helping a mk2 virgin get some confidence to work on the car :)

Yes just give the motor a squirt or 2 of grease and gently spin it by hand.  Don't over do it and grease everywhere.

The noise will eventually return.
