Blower Motor or Sampler Fan?
Heres a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kHFKRuMuC8 I've been googling around and I'm thinking it might be the blower motor? hoping not as its a huge job so thought I'd ask for some advice first.. any help would be hugely appreciated! If theres any way I can test which of the 2 this may be would help. Thanks in advance! |

Well...you can at least discount the sampling fan. It is located behind the left grid in the IHKA control panel and only has one speed. So increasing/decreasing the IHKA's fan speed button wouldn't increase/decrease the noise...as well as the noise/sound wouldn't be coming from the dash vents when you put the microphone up to it.
{this is the little sample fan inside the IHKA...pics are from a DIY from BimBoard e38 forum}

Thanks for the reply!
so looking like the blower motor? I think I'm going to try the lube trick iv seen posted on here, just struggling to find a long straw for my silicone spray at the moment. Iv been trying to find some videos of people with a similar problem but I havnt heard any that are anywhere near as bad as mine! It's strange as it just seemed to appear from nowhere. No build up just fine and then this starts! |

Definitely the blower motor. Were that mine I would figure out the best place to drill a small oil maintenance hole to lubricate.

Ye I might try that actually! Iv got an endoscope coming for my phone in the next few days so I'll have a look around with that and see where I can get to it.

That's a good idea. I bought the depstech model amd though the interface is very rough around the edges it works pretty well
