The blower fan in my 97 850 T5 is sqealing intermitenly. My question is should I try to lube the bearingwith machine oil or graphite or will I just be wasting my time? Also where is the blower fan located?
Thanks
John

 

Some people have successfully lubed the motor, while others, including myself had to replace the blower at about $140 (Behr, German OEM). See attached for location.

You will need Torx tools and do your homework, especially on the pax-side SRS.

I lubed mine successfully, but others have not. Follow JPN's great instructions. I do have a rebuilt blower motor and cage fan assemblyif you need one.

 

How much do you want for it?

I just need to get it out of my overcrowded garage.$25 plus shipping sounds good to me.

 

you NEVER offered it to me when i needed it late last year

 

My apologies! I either missedyour post, or it was still being rebuilt.

 

it's cool. glad to say fcpgroton hooked me up and i got it installed in about 30 minutes.

 

Pasboic well I lubed the fan one week ago and it is starting to make noise again. If you still have the fan let me know were to send the money. Thanks

 

I sold it to a co-worker who needed it just last week.....sorry [X(]
