Subject:Re: Front heater fan squealing - how to fix?

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!

> 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.

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?
