Horrible noise from air vents

Post by mrshoaibhashmi »

I'm having this issue with my 2001 S60. The noise is coming from the passenger side. It only happens when the blower is on and typically at lower speeds. How do I get to the blower?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I have split this from the RWD thread and moved it to this forum for information of S60 owners.

The two attachments detail the procedure:

Thats the lovely death scream of the fan cage bearing. Somebody here actually figured a way to unseal it (it's a sealed bearing) and lube it.
