I have fitted the USB module and heater resistor to my van. Unfortunately my heater blower was too far gone, to the extent it was blowing the fuse each time I turned on the heater. I managed to get a new blower for £60 from Amazon and it works perfect on all settings 1-4. Cheers for the step by step videos. Great help!
Thanks for this video it was very helpful, I've just lubricated the fan bearings with spray grease and very pleased with the result, no more squeaking and rattling, long may it last!
Just done exactly this!! Great vid!! Mine did have some play but seems ok now it’s all back in, even if I get a couple more months out of it, I now know just how easy it is to replace
Was it an after market resistor that you fitted? Just going through the exact same with my T5. Also have some dim lights on the dashboard since! Not ideal
Re. greasing. I couldn't figure out how to get grease in with our getting it all over the place. Instead I had a go with bike chain lube - the bottle had a long nozzle to get between the fan blades and I just did a couple of drops at a time and spun the shaft to work it in. Did the same at the other end and it seemed to penetrate pretty well. Now, no squeaking! I have no idea how it will do in the long run but if it gives the fan a bit more life before replacement I'm fine with that. This all started with having to change the resistor and ended up doing the blower and filter - a breeze with the big trim panel under the airbag removed.
Mine isn't noisy but its blown the fan resistor. Ive replaced the resistor and now it smells a bit of burning when i run the fan. Wonder whether to just replace it
Did you replace it ? Mine does the same changed resistor and there is smell like its burning and the resistor gone after week so ordered new fan and pollen filter now hope it will be fine
How long did it last for after? Just trying to weigh up replacing or not. As it’s cold time of year and I have it apart as we speak Cheers for the info!

Glad you’re all sorted Paul and got there in the end 👍
Worth doing your pollen filter when your in there!
Great feedback, thanks John 👍

That’s great to hear (or not hear 😂), thanks for your comment 👍
Brilliant m8 my fan stopped working in my caddy lot easy to get out I sprayed it up with wd40 now all working great
Great to hear Andrew, thank you for your feedback 👍
Brilliant. I’m trying this at the weekend as I can’t be having that noise when I drive to Italy in August! Thanks for this and all your videos
Hope it worked 🤞
@@JesterBushcraft thanks so much. It certainly did!
Love your channel I did my resistor last week after watching you do yours. Luckily I didn't have a noisy fan 👍👍
Brilliant Tim, glad the video helped. Thanks for your comment 👍
Thanks for the post ,wish I had seen it early before pulling dash apart thinking fan switch was stuffed .
More than welcome Ray, I’ll let you know next time I fix something and do a video 😆 hope you got sorted…

Worked great for me!!!
Nice one Keith, mines still going strong 👍
That’s great to hear Keith, mines still going strong, squeak free 👍
Hi, Great channel and great video's so just subscribed. Im just wondering how the fan is doing a year on? Thanks
Still going strong (which surprised me), but seemed to do the trick 🤞 thank you for your feedback…

Yes Jonathan, it’s the one listed (linked) in the description. Still working well for me, touch wood 👍
Great video thank you. I did the same and noise gone! Did you find a way to remove the fixing to the left of the hazard and cup holder ?

My fan has developed exactly the same squeak today. Thanks for the video. But you didn't show the greasing! I'm not sure on that part.
But in fairness, I did cure the issue..so thanks! 👍
Really helpful video. But yes, would love to know how you greased it please!

@@krosowiec yeah replaced it quick sharp and the smell went away

Connor, still going strong with no squeaks 🤞 thanks for your comment, much appreciated…
Would be better if you stopped waffling!
