This video will show you how easy it is to fix a noisy blower fan on your Volvo XC60, XC70, XC90 and other Volvo vehicles as well. Replacing the fan motor is a difficult task on most Volvos and can set you back a couple thousand if you take it to the dealer. My $5 dollar 10 minute fix will hold you over for 2 to 4 years with out any issues.

If we’re attaching that extra long straw to the WD-40, why can’t I just go in through the front of the dashboard and up the canal until I reach the blower motor?
Great Video. Just did this fix today on my xc70! Very simple and easy to do. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video and share this tip!
Thanks bunches!!
you rock. did this on my 2012 S60 and 2012 XC60 and stopped that annoying sound. Did use WD40 and used couple of plastic straws — was able to just get it into the bearing location. This is so easy compared to dashboard removal.
Thanks so much. Worked like a charm on my 2014 T6.
Thanks so much for the awsome vedio. Are u spraying on the rod? Or through the fan rotor holes? What is the best way to remove the plastic clips? Thanks again.
I got a similar noise from my s80 2015-2016. Same procedure?
soooo good!
My heater fan was making a terrible hum after having the windscreen replaced. Volvo dealership wanted to sell me a new fan motor, which requires stripping the whole dashboard. I followed your instructions to access the fan, removed a piece of foam rubber (dropped by the windscreen fitrer). Problem solved. THANK YOU for this video.
Thank you sir. Just did this on my 2011 V60 (right hand drive – so the fan was facing the other way).
The one wiper was in the way when I removed the plastic cover beneath the windscreen, so I had to put the wipers in "service" mode – just hold the wiper stalk up after switching off the ignition and they move to the up position.
I used Q20 (a lubricant and cleaning spray we use in South Africa – similar to WD40), and I attached a bendy drinking straw to the existing spray pipe with some sticky tape, to get the necessary length (and so I could direct the spray accurately with the bendy straw bit).
I had to spray a few times and there's a definite improvement. It still squeaks a bit around halfway, but then it quietens down – maybe I need to run it for a few days to let the Q20 work in properly.
Thanks for the excellent tip!
You’re the real MVP!
Dude. This is awesome! Nice work. Now tell me how to fix the damn rear gate rattle…
Why YouTube was created. Great post!
Same on 2014 model?
