After almost 260,000 miles I finally gave up on factory heating A/C blower motor in my 2006.5 A5. I had probably removed, lubed, and replaced my original motor half a dozen times which would quiet it for a while, but the gap between the needed lube was getting shorter. I knew it was probably a risk but I purchased a VDO PM9291 as a replacement. Now less than 90 days of use this fan it also developed a mild squeal especially on colder mornings. I think the cost with shipping and tax was about $73.00. It appears I can get a warranty replacement if I buy a new one and then ship the VDO back for credit. For now, I am leaning toward taking out the VDO and attempting to lube the motor and see how that might work.
Has anyone had good luck with VDO blower motors? Other than OEM are their any other manufactures you have had good luck with?
