Hi all

Please see original post and replies in General Chit Chat.


I have attached photo's of the guilty Blower Motor.
The most amazing thing about this noisy Blower Motor is that it will make noise while it was off.
So using a mechanic's stethoscope I pinpointed the noise and ordered a new one.
Took less than 10 min to swap.
I then proceeded to try and pull the old one apart and you will not believe what I found!
The electrical Blower Motor was vibrating inside the outer plastic housing which is suppose to hold it in place, causing wear and tear to the outer housing and creating a very fine black dust which you can see in the photo's.
Like I said in my original post, noise can only be heard when the engine was in idle coming through the air vents.

Thank God its quieter now. :D :D :D :D
