The heater blower in my 5yr old, 65k miles 2001 Passat has started squeaking. It was faint over the last weeks but today was more noticeable.
Does anyone know what kind of bearings this part has? ball bearings or bronze sleeve bearings? Has anyone repaired this problem by replacing the bearings or by lubricating the bearings?
The part is freaking $300 online, so I will not be buying a new blower or blower motor. This cost is very far out of line with what the part is - I would be curious to know how the price is set.
Thanks in advance!
