Is this the recommended fix for the squeaky blower fan? I also am getting the squeaky noises and they are driving me crazy. It's like having a rodent inside the dash.

Did you find a DIY for this?

There is a video on YouTube on how to do it. Simple though, remove the passenger side under panel, unplug the fan, lift the little catch and rotate out and down. Then lube the shaft. Also wear gloves... I had gloves on but still cut the crap out of my finger on the cable clasp through the gloves...

Lol, I really have outdoorsy skin. One side of the cable clip snapped and went right through my gloves. I thought it just poked me but my glove started feeling wet.. From the blood in it!

You can also get to it from the outside by removing the cabin air filter housing and using an extended flexible spray nozzle like what comes on some of the WD-40 canisters.

Did mine last week as well. Any luck with changing the incoming ringtone or corner LED delete? These are the only 2 left that I need to code with carly.

I was unable to code folding mirrors on locking.... as well as angel eyes as day time runners. I didn't change the corner led, I have halogen headlights so it's different?

You should be able to code the mirrors to fold in upon locking the car via Carly.

You can not make your angel eyes become your DRL lights via coding, in a pre-lci model.

However, you can do it be adding an additional harness.

My E93 is an 08. Oddly enough I was able to activate AE's as DRL off the signal stalk. This did not activate actual headlights or taillights but AE's only. After coding with Carly, now my headlights want to come on when activating. I'm pretty sure that I have the fix, just haven't had time to do the work around. I found it odd that everyone else I know that has a 335 that has the DRL's on, it's usually head and tail lights. Maybe mine was coded before I bought, maybe it's a cabrio thing.....??? You can definitely code the mirrors to fold upon locking. I'd love to do mine, but was told by the tech the crazy noise coming from my mirror on closing is the motor and it needs to be replaced; better not to fold them at all. Function > Finesse all day, every day.

Valve cover, and oil filter and cooler gaskets. Complete engine detailing, along with a fresh clean dielectric grease on the coil boots. Three hours for all of it.

Restored the Xenon headlights, replaced the ebay ones. The amber corner is starting to grow on me. Light output is a million times better and has a cleaner cutoff. Also changed my 6000k HID fogs to 3000k Nokya bulbs. Bit more functional and less blinding to other drivers. I love the new look!

The ebay headlights passenger side angel eyes went out. It kind of bothered me so I decided to take the time to restore the oem xenons and reinstalled them. I'm tempted to take the ebay ones apart and redo the rings. I believe they were equipped with CCFL, so LED would be a good move. But I will probably just sell them.

Would you repair them and sell? Might be interested
