Hi,
Only joking the little fellas aren't in there,but the heater in the 964 is really noisey the one in the scuttle rhd side in the front.Can anyone tell me what it takes to get to it and lube it or is it a new bearing I need.

Regards Gaz.

I don't believe they can be lubed - but I have kind of lubed mine.

From memory - remove the fuse box (rest the fuse board on the wing / fender). Remove the firewall.

This gives access to the fan on the RHS. You can unclip the cover. I sprayed plenty of grease onto mine, which did quieten it down for a few months but it's really only a temporary bodge.

Oh - and you can't replace the bearing, you need to replace the fan, which at least in the UK is not cheap. I did intend to get mine done, but it had to be ordered from Germany - and wouldn't have arrived before I was taking the 964 on a weeks holiday. I had to bodge it, or I'm pretty sure I would have driven it off a cliff - mine had got very loud!

anyone got any photo's of this task as its not going over the cliff just yet, but I will repair it,the motor must be repairable or who's bought one in the uk at a non porscher inflated price.

Thanks in advance Gaz

But many thanks for your help

Air con only affects how hard it is to get the LHS fan out - not the RHS. My 964 has (non working) air con and it didn't affect my access to the RHS fan.

Those are expensive hamsters....





I look back at the photos and I just don't know how the heck I built up the courage to do that task...

Those hamsters are getting more expensive every day...Vertex currently lists them for $549 and $649.

Has no one figured out a way to rebuild them? I can't believe it would be impossible.

Thanks,,

The info is helping me build the confidence to get at this at the weekend,I will recondition this motor when I get it off ,mine is working but very loud.
I hope I can turn a bush down out of nylon or drill it out and put a bearing in.
As the above post we should be able to do a repair to it.

Regards Gaz,,,
