Climate control fan motor noise
Has anyone had a problem with the climate control fan making a winning noise when its on and at low speed? It does not do it all the time. I hope the fan motor is not going bad. I hate the thought of them replacing it and having to rip apart the dash.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. |

You should download the maintenance manual here on the forum and it will show you exactly how to remove the fan / filter. |

What can i do? thanks Nick (from Italy) Not too hard to remove it and see if it is trash or a bearing causing the noise ... ( one of the first things I did when I got my roadster was remove and clean the fan, most have leaves and crap in them ) |

If you replaced the cabin filter, you probably saw the fan ....

how can i see the fan? is it difficoult to do it? thanks 1. Remove the lower instrument panel cover from the instrument panel 2. Disconnect the blower motor electrical connector from the relief in the blower motor door. 3. Slide the blower motor door catch mounts to the sides. 4. Swing the blower motor door down. 5. Remove the screws attaching the blower motor to the heater housing. 6. Remove the blower motor and squirrel cage as an assembly. NOTE: You can also see the top of the fan by removing the plastic cowl piece ( where the windshield wipers are ) This will allow you to go in with a vacume cleaner and remove all the debris ...... |

it's not a screwdriver, it's a T20 torx driver for the screws, and a 12 or 13 mm socket for the wiper arms removal. There are also a couple of small plastic wire ties that you will need to cut, then replace.
one last question: where can i find the service manual? |

There was a leaf in the fan under the passenger windscreen wiper. Now it's all ok! |
