UrS4 heater fan?

[missmouse]

any tips on how to get at the heater fan easily on UrS4? my bruvs one is driving me nuts with its intermittant squeeling!
Thought I could get some oil into it to keep it going a while longer before we take on the nightmare of getting the dash out to fix it properly!

you dont have to take the dash out, just take evrything that is under the glass away, under the dash you have to unscreew that chanels that go to legs and then you can take part with fan so much out, that you can take the fan out

i have change it 1 week ago, it was to noisy, and oil didnt help

Here is a step by step to get to the fan from the engine bay (it's really how-to-replace the S6 climate control filter - which the UrS4's don't have):

I managed it by separating the hamster cage fan from the motor and just yanking it out of the hole.. refitting is the reverse except that you have to take the plastic cowl off the other side and then push the fan back onto the motor.

you'll need to loosen the fan housing as well so you have more wiggle room.

it's easier with a RHD car as the fan is mounted the other way round to the LHD.

thanx guys,
not looked at the setup yet but from what you are saying, the motor/fan assy is accessed all from the engine compartment & NOT from the inside?
Thats cool!
