It is kind of hard to tell if the blower motor is bad, or if you have set the selector switch to something that runs the A/C compressor, such as the defroster. The compressor will loose its oil, and eventually seize up.
Dave. '90 GLi ----- Original Message ----- : Towards the end of this past summer my AC compressor died and I had to spend a few weeks suffering. No big deal though. I've picked up another compressor and will have it installed soon. I'm not in a big rush though considering that it's the middle of winter, but recently (last night on the way home from Phoenix) with the heat on (vent selection blowing towards my face and not my feet) and the temperature selector about 1/3 (from left to right) I started hearing this dort of wailing and moaning noise. It seriously sounded like there was a dog stuck in my dash. : : I didnt think much of it. Followed the "pay no attention to it and it'll go away" theory, but this morning, I cant even keep any sort of air blowing through the car. The sounds the thing makes are LOUD and it sort of shreiks and shudders. It seems to be coming from behind the glove compartment. : : It's definately not the belt squeal associated with loose/wet/worn belts that happens when the A/C or defrost is on, I'm sure of that. : : I'm not real familiar with climate control stuff and I know I shouldnt be bitching when I live in So Cal where the coldest it gets is about 45, but I'd still like things to work correctly. : : Any help appreciated : : Matt : 92 8V GTi : Los Angeles _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
