Anyone have a solution for the annoying squeel in my heater blower motor when it is cold? Motor works fine, and disappears when it warms up...suggestions..it's a 1979 - 924....Thanks all

Had the same problem a few years back. Just removed the plastic covering/housing under the hood and placed several drops of teflon based lubricant on the motor shaft and that solved it.

OK...under hood....Black plastic housing....3 black plastic pins....plastic cover didn't budge....I hate to break it by accident...did I miss something?

No need to remove the black plastic housing. Just shine a light in there and you'll see the motor end shaft. Get a long narrow tube, poke it between the holes in the screen and squirt oil on the shaft.

If you happen to break it, I think I've got an extra, if you need one.

I shot some lube with a tube and it worked pretty good. May have to do it again in the future but this will certainly quiet it down for awhile.
