Ok, so it’s winter here. My blower fan has been squeaking since 2019. It finally died last week, right during a cold snap (0-5F). I bought the part from the dealer (way too much, but I needed it right now or so I thought), watched this video again and realized I needed that special tool. Ordered that damn thing on Monday, it came yesterday. Watched this video again. I worked last night (1500-0325) took a nap and went to it at 1100. I had the car apart at 1145, new part installed at 1155 with help from the wife, everything buttoned up at 1315. Thanks for this man, seriously. Even though I payed way too much for the motor itself, I saved prolly $1500 in labor. I couldn’t have done this without your help in this video. A sincere thanks, and a raise of the beer your way!!

It was my first ever car repair and i couldn’t have done it without this video. Took me 8ish hours, given I’m a novice in car repairs, but I was still able to get thru the whole procedure. One note is I didn’t take out the seat (or even fold back the carpet) and didn’t have an issue. (I’m 6 feet tall; 180 pounds but quite flexible). Also if you’re just one person (like I was) you can wedge a clothes pin to push down the plastic release tab that holds the motor in place. This step is the only step that requires two people, so you’re able to do the repair yourself using that tip. Thank you so much to the team that put this together. Your positive encouragement was what inspired me to give this repair a try in the first place. Saved me $2k+

I have now done the job! I really couldn't remove the blower without the tool, so I custom made something similar to the original tool and was able to turn it then. Also - you really have to make sure that you release the tab all the way! Couple of remarks about the process - I also didn't see the need to remove the carpet or the passenger seat. I did unbolt the CEM unit, but left the wires attached to it and worked around it, like he did in the video.

I came across my previous comment that I posted here 3 years ago, and I was not aware that it had replies and questions ...so sorry about that. First I need to say that this tutorial video is just awesome. I could not imagine how this complicated job would of been like without it. So BIG THANKS to volvosweden for this video. Like all his videos, they are superbly done. Top notch quality, with just the right details. In addition, there are encouraging statements on his part. I think this volvosweden guy is a seriously GOOD guy, to say the very least. Ok I got many asking me how I did the job without the removal tool. What I realize later is that the screw holding the fan that the author's car in the video was missing; well in my car it was not missing, and it was the only thing stopping the fan from turning the 45 or so degree to be removed. I mean my car did not have the tab that needs to be pressed to turn the fan in the removal position. So for me removing the fan was fairly easy. I just had to remove the screw, then turn the fan 45 or so degree from the driver side (not from the side where the squirrel-cage and where the tool is inserted which is the passenger side) and finally I pushed it towards the passenger side. No helper needed. I think a previous mechanic cut off or broke off the tab in my car, in purpose. With that screw in place this lock-tab is certainly unnecessary, I think it is just a design for fast assembly during manufacturing. When I installed the new fan, the tips of my fingers fitted through the spaces between the spoke-like plastic ribs of the squirrel-cage, and so I was able to control the position of the fan as i was inserting it. It is very easy to turn the fan in position from the driver side. And then I reinserted the screw. Voila! As a note: for those who have the tab on the driver-side holding the fan. If someone can rig a way to keep the tab depress, then one can do like I did, remove the fan by turning it from the driver side; hence without the removal tool. I think volvosweden does the job according to Volvo's manual, and that is great for doing such a video. However, removing the entire carpet, thereby the seat and amp is overkill. The carpet is not really in the way of removing the CEM and and everything else. And its is much nicer to work with the carpet on when leaning down on the floor of the car. Taking my meticulous time the job took me 5 to 6 hours. What I found the most difficult was to deal with the hidden two screws on the recirculate/fresh air controller unit. Like volvosweden says "patience, patience, patience..." and I would add "perseverance!"

I had an idea with an issue on a 2010 XC60 which had the same fan squeaking issue you had. I took the windshield wiper blade arms off and the cowling below, and accessed the fresh air inlet. (it's just some clips that hold the cowling down) Then you can see the blower fan from there through the inlet opening. (must not be in recirculate mode or the door will be closed, select fresh air setting in the car) I only knew that you can see the blower fan from there because years ago when replacing the windshield I watched the technicians while they installed the new windshield. (they were nice and let me into the shop) I purchased a 3 foot long spray nozzle extension like the little 5 inch red ones you'll find, but very flexible and much longer. With the fan off, I blasted some MAF cleaner behind the squirrel cage fan portion and let it dry. I repeated that one more time. Let it dry completely again. Then started the car and the blower fan, It did not squeak anymore on any speed settings! I'm so happy! As a little extra insurance I switched the long spray nozzle tube over to a aerosol spray can of "Seafoam Deep Creep Penetrating Lubricant" and carefully, and sparingly, shot some onto the motor shaft behind the fan cage. Then started the car and ran the fan through all the speeds up and down. Still no squeaking! My hope is it lasts a long time. I'll report back when and "knock on wood" if it starts squeaking again. I hope it's not anytime soon! The whole job took 45 minutes working at a comfortable relaxed pace. It will be quicker next time, since I've done it once already and it was pretty easy to do anyway. (but I hope there's no next time, at least for several years!)

Thanks for sharing this information, just done our rhd p3, so much was mirror image. I made a little platform to sill height, but still worked upside down. Most of the work was through passenger side, even the wire for the motor was done by retrieving the motor a little way then putting my hand over to unclip it. I had to put my hand up next to steering column then over a duct to feel the back of the motor clip while someone turned it. I wish I had removed the plug from the air quality sensor instead of taking out the whole thing as I broke the retaining clip. Struggled refitting the motor, wish I had reused the motor housing as the replacement was not a genuine part. Thanks again for your help

Just replaced mine on a 2013 S60! only took about 4 hours with cleanup. Our pipe behind the gauge cluster is all one piece and doesn't come out easily at all. You can just use a long pry bar to lift up that clip instead. Once the blower motor is pulled out towards the passenger side, you can disconnect the plug from the back of it since there is enough slack in it. Also, that screw hole that isn't used isn't used on any Volvos as far as I'm aware. It seems to be a spot for a captured nut, possibly used on a land rover or something. There doesn't appear to be any threads in the hole on mine. Also, if you have motorized folding mirrors and auto up and down windows, you may have to reteach them by pulling the fuse or just turning your car on and off a couple of times which somehow worked for me. Finally, that foam gasket in the back of the blower motor hole is SUPER important. Mine broke and I installed it anyways and now I have a whistling noise where air is escaping from where the gasket should be. Oops. But seriously amazing write-up!

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I think it was well done, and quite helpful. I have a 2012 XC60, and it's a bit different design behind the gauge cluster, with a bunch of extra plastic to cradle the cluster and a different air duct configuration. Not as easy as this one, so I'm going to do some trimming of that plastic to get some better access. According to CARFAX, this was already replaced once at Volvo of Toronto, but I think the fan was shaken loose when going down a bumpy gravel road. Maybe that's what that screw is for.
@juhal59595 жыл бұрын
On 2012 XC60 the repair was easier than on the video. No need to open or remove anything on driver's side as there is no screw or button that holds the blower. You only need the special tool, and you can remove the blower from right side of the car. When the blower is loose, pull it out only a little, and you can detach the electric connector. Thus you can do the repair alone, you do not need assistant to press the button. I checked the exact model of blower from www.behrhellaservice.com/behr-hella-service/en/Online-catalog-5076.html, I did not use the Land Rover blower, though indeed it is cheaper than the recommended model. And, I was a bit lazy and did not remove the seat, I only lowered the backrest as much as possible and I was lying on the seat, not on the floor.

I also advice to remove totally the white ECC unit holder steel frame, not to bind it with the nylon strip as on the video. That way you get good space to pull out the recirculation flap piece and the blower. Otherwise you may damage something as it is rather tight spot. Note also that if you lose one of the 3 screws from recirculation piece, you can remove one from the old blower case.

I too did not have a bolt in the blower fan as you discovered. I followed your instructions to a TEE including the seat and carpet removal. My ONE recommendation is don't cheap out on the blower tool. My Amazon special for $35 kept Bending and I was so close from it breaking in the fan which would have put me in HELL. Luckily I didn't, but I did throw away the damn tool after completion. And also, don't kill yourself looking for the "blocks" that the tool fits in. The covers over the fan blocks this.

Thanks a lot for the great video! It helped me a lot! I managed to reduce noise without taking the fan off, by drilling a hole to the back of the fan (7 mm) and then with a long pipe (90cm) attached to a WD40 spray pipe I could spray some oil to the back bearings of the fan! I needed not take anything off from the right side of the car, I only took off the speedometer and the house behind that. There is still little noise left, but next I'll try to spray WD40 to the other bearing of the fan. I'll report that later!

These cabin blowers are problematic since 2001 on all P2 models. Bmw and perhaps other brands had the same blower with the same problem - a tiny bushing bearing piece worth 50c under the fan gets wet from humidity and starts rusting and squealing in cold weather. Same problem for past 15 years and they couldn't bother to improve the design of the small bearing. Plus you guys on the P3 models got the blower buried inside the dash and to add insult now it needs a removal tool. Volvo must fire that engineer.

Wonderful video, as always! This is my favourite Volvo channel. I'm halfway now, everything is taken out apart from the fan itself. I'm waiting for the new fan and the tool to arrive to continue, but I feel the hard part is done. It is a lot of work, but I can imagine this would be a very costly repair if done by the garage... It simply takes a lot of time. One thing I found very helpful to unscrew the two invisible screws on the housing: I used my phone to film the location of the screw (with flash on) and looked at the screen for a live view at the screw. I could then easily aim the screwdriver onto the screw itself. Could be a helpful tip for anybody else. Thanks for the video!

Have to say. This is a very well done video. And I agree that the bottle opener was the most used tool. LOL. Only thing I can add is. I din't really need the tool for removal. You can use a set of cutters (tin snips etc) to cut the blades off the old wheel and turn the motor with a pair of long nose pliers or vise grips. As long as your assistant is holding the (stupid) release tab. The new one is very easy to rotate into place. Thanks for the awesome video.

Great Video thanks - I've obtained the part and the tool and I'll be using this to carry out the same repair on my 2007 P3 Volvo to fix the squeaky winter fan - I'll be working symmetrically opposite as mine is RHD, but I've been told the HVAC unit is a mirror of yours. I'll report how I got on. Just for info, I've seen a few references to a screw to hold the blower motor in place that appeared to be missing in the video. From the research I did it appears that the screw hole is a service fix in case the tab that locks the fan into place gets broken - it means you can refit the fan with a broken plastic tab and don't need to buy a new one - you just use a screw in the holes as shown to lock the fan in place. You should not see a screw if the fan has never been removed or if the tab wasn't broken.

Welcome to P3 Volvo’s. P3 generation of Volvo’s are very weird mix cuz it clear that Volvo was in middle of engineering and building stuff and ford walked in and screwed stuff up. Lot of clever and easy to maintain very Swedish engineering all over these cars however every so often there’s these things that just make no sense, like I’m sure if Volvo had 100% control they would put it behind an easy to use cover somewhere, may still required a special tool but would been easy and only have 2 steps . Also some clearly half and half engineering as well on some stuff. the radiator cooling fans, I was attempting to replace my cooling fans on my rad the other night and the top half is just clipped in with heavy duty clips like whatever that’s easy and thinking maybe it’s on a sled system that locks in that seems like a Swedish design thing, nope...bottom half is bolted in from the back side and have to either reach from under and around which seems like would be fine but I spent a half hour dicking with it and couldn’t figure it out and feels half and half like Volvo designed top half and ford designed bottom half. Speaking of the radiator cooling, I asked a few people if I can just replace the fans only since I can get same fans for fairly cheap $80 new vs $450 for entire fan system, answer I got was “it looks like it’s possible but I don’t think it comes apart I think they built the fan into it..”. Wtf

I've got a 2013 S60 T5 that now needs the blower motor replaced for the SECOND time. First time was done by a mechanic who didn't need the tool as the blower was already out of it's mount. Listening to it, I believe the motor became unsnapped from it's mount (again). This time, I'll do the repair using your great video. Only thing different I'll do is add that screw, as I'm concerned of the expansion and contraction due to temps may contribute to it becoming unsnapped. Also: There is a TJ (Technical Journal) TJ 27558 which Volvo issued. It's basically a rubber mat that sits in the engine compartment under the seal near the firewall to help shed and direct water away from the firewall. This is the major contributing factor why the bearings squeal. That part is roughly $10 USD and available at most Volvo dealers. Mine even went so far as to have it dropped-shipped to my home saving me the trouble of driving to the dealership which is far from my house.I've got the replacement motor and tool via Amazon, so plan on tackling this over the weekend (or longer?)Will update again once I start the teardown.Thanks again for the great video which gives me confidence to do this job myself. Dealer wanted $1,100 in labor and $300 for the motor, not including tax. Total would have been ~ $1,500 USD.

Hi VolvoSweden and Volvo Owners:Well, this weekend I finally got to the task of replacing the blower motor as I mentioned above. Apologies for the delay but my girlfriend got rear-ended and the car just got out of the body shop. Again, this video is GREAT! It's very detailed and without it I would certainly not have been able to do the job.There were a few discrepancies as my Volvo is a 2013 S60. Minor differences were an extra decorative trim piece under the instrument cluster, and the vent tube behind the instrument cluster was a single pipe and not in two pieces. This actually made it MORE difficult to remove. Also the two screws holding it in place were very difficult to remove. The right one had no access from underneath, so we needed channel lock pliers to manually back it out. Also this one was impossible to replace upon installation, so instead I had to use a zip tie. The left one was accessible via T25 Torx and extensions from underneath. Regarding the blower itself, she bought an aftermarket blower motor not an original Volvo motor. This presented some challenges although easier to install without the tool. The aftermarket blower does not utilize the tab at the top. Which after time, it can (obviously) came loose and fell out of it's mount, as it's only held in place by the 3 tabs on the sides surrounding the housing which holds it in place after giving a slight turn clockwise. Since we used the same aftermarket blower motor with same mounting housing, I applied generous dabs of silicone to the 3 locking tabs and verified it was securely in place visually thru the instrument cluster opening. The nice part of the aftermarket blower is no need for the tool. The blower cage is put on the motor shaft with a locknut washer after the motor is installed, which is done by hand. If you need to remove this simply snip the locking washer then pull off the cage. Hopefully the silicone will do the trick and not let the motor vibrate free out of the 3 tabs, which happened previously. Lesson learned to be careful buying aftermarket parts. Had she bought the original Volvo part, the locking tab on the top would have prevented it coming loose...although the tool is required to remove/install, obviously. But that would have been the preferred method. Thanks again for having the video available. Without it I would have NEVER felt comfortable enough to tackle this myself, and saved $1,400 plus tax ($1,100 labor; $300 parts) plus tax....roughly $1,500.

Hi Volvosweden: Today I installed the small rubber mat under the cowling per TJ27588. It's basically a small piece of rubber with self adhesive on the back. It's probably about 1/16" thick and basically sits under the cowling to make it seal tighter to the rubber gasket under the windshield. Volvo part for this "rubber mat or rubber cloth" is: 30792500. I see you provided me your email address....I will send you a pic. Thanks again - I would not have been able to perform this replacement myself without your video! You saved me $1,400 USD

I had to drop the rear subframe, exhaust and disconnect the propshaft just to drop the gas tank and gain access to the top where the fuel pump goes into the tank. In hindsight, I should've taken video but I used a lot of expletives during the repair. I hope and pray you won't have to replace your pump anytime soon.

volvosweden possibly but I didn't want to cut into the bodywork. The fuel pump must be accessed from the top of of the gas tank and I needed enough room to manipulate the hoses that connect up to the pump after half of it is inside the tank. That was the biggest issue I had. I couldn't connect up all the hoses and electrical connections while the pump was outside the tank then installing it. The gas tank hole opening isn't large enough. I used to own a lot of Audis before switching to Volvo and replacing the fuel pumps and filters on all the Audis were easy because they always provided an easy access panel. I could finish a fuel pump replacement on my Audi A6 Quattro in 15 min. Changing the pump on my Volvo XC70 took me 14-16 hours.
