I don't know if the fan is different on a GTI from a Rallye but if its the same it was easy to drop out from behind the centre console via the passenger footwell, just follow the squeak to find it. I'd try spraying before buying a new one... Mine's been sqeak free for 6 months now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey S 29 1 Cars Posted February 20, 2008 take the fan out, turn upside down and drill a hole smack in the middle and drop some light oil (gun oil is ideal) down the hole. leave for a few hours upside down then refit it. should cure it a treat. mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
