since you have to cut apart the front heatercore/blower housing, where do you get the clips to hold it back together again? I did this once before on one vanagon, now I have to do it to another one! John
> I have a similar problem but mine went beyond the squeaking stage, slowed down and finally started blowing fuses. The suggestions I got were to go to the archives and look under "blower", "dashboard" or "dash". I found enough information under "blower" to deal with the problem and now I just have to do it. It involves taking the entire dashboard off, but check the archives first. > > Bill H. 88 GL > > SD Kraning <PopTop88@CHARTER.NET> wrote: > > Does anyone know about these heater fans / blowers? My front one is starting to make squealing or squeeking noises on the middle speed. (It is on a '90 Carat b.t.w.) I suspect it is a bearing that is going bad. is this something that can be lubricated, or does it have to come out and get rebuilt or replaced w/ a new one? > > thanks, > > scott k. > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now > |
