I've been serenaded quite often lately by the dreaded squeal of death emanating from my Westfalia's front heater fan motor. Since the outside temperature has levelled out at about minus 27 Celsius (metric, you know) I will not be attempting to remove the dash for a fan motor replacement until spring rolls around (which will not be for some time yet). As short-term relief, I've been wondering about simply drilling a teeny-tiny hole in the motor fan housing through which I would squirt some lubricant like WD40 to quieten the squealing. Any one done this or have any comments (well, duhh!...listees ALWAYS have comments). Roy O. '87 Westfalia (till death us do part) |
