Yet another cold weather problem:
When the temp. falls along with the snowflakes I detect the most annoying problem
My defroster fan takes vacation
At low and medium speed nothing happens at all and when I put it in high, there is the noice of a screeming pig comming out from the dashboard along with as much air as of a decent fart
very effective against fog !!
But before I start ripping the dash apart I thought I�ll ask you guys 
1 this is because of the fan and not the swich right ??
2 is there a way of changing the bearings in the fan OR change it for some other not so vulnerable out of the      
   wreckyard fan, since a new fan is 3000 Swedish kroner ( �bout 400 US $ )

I know that there is Vanagons in the wreckyard but it would be a pain in the ass to go through all that work and end up with one that is just as bad and it�s hard to try it out if the problem like the one I�ve got only occurs when below  zero degrees Celcius . It also seems like a common fault since the dealer said that " we normally have fans on the shelfs but right now they�re sold out "

So what to do ??

BTW, I really LOVE the screensaver
