So my car has developed on odd squeak in the cabin.

It only occurs when the blower fan on the Climate control is on either 1 or 2 (if I turn it to 3 I cant hear it any more) and it only really happens when there is lateral G on the car, so when taking a corner a bit quick.
Most noticeable is on a large fast roundabout.

Anybody else have/had this?
I assume its something in the Blower motor not quiet right?
Its strange though as this noise does not get worse with the fan spinning faster.

Car has cost me a lot of money last 2 months, so would be really interested to hear if there is a cheap / free fix for this!

check the power steering fluid level as well.

Car has electric power steering.

I sprayed some WD40 on the bolt mentioned in the topic, and it has definitely improved the situation.

Only heard a tiny squeak on a very hard and fast right.
Will give it a couple of days and if its still making the noise, give it another squirt.

Thanks very much for the link!! Drove home with no music playing yesterday just to appreciate the sound of silence!

it make take a couple of attempts but I did mine a couple of years ago and no return of the noise

I have just (finally) cured mine - I hope!

A couple of attempts with WD40 only lasted a few days. Oil running down a screwdriver (I used a metal rod) seems to have finally done it.

For the oil down a screw driver trick, how much oil did you put on the bolt?

[ssc330d]

About 8 to 10 drops so there was a clearly visible line of it running down. I then held it there to ensure it all ran on to the bolt.
