Hi folks,

I have had my 2019 L&K Superb for around a year now. When I bought it I noticed that the blower fan was making a squeaking noise. I took out the air filter and sprayed some grease on the motor spindle which seemed to help, but I always had it in the back of my head to replace. A few weeks ago I had the car in for the annual service and although the squeak was minimal I thought I might as well get my Mech to replace it. Turned out to be a mistake as the replacement fan he fitted it clearly not an OEM and although it doesn't squeak, its just noisier all round!

So now I'm determined to buy a used OEM and replace it myself, but I'm having a nightmare attempting a trial run and removing the fan. I have removed the three screws but it appears to be held in by clips that are behind the glovebox / footwell vent. Does the box / vent have to be removed? It seems a lot more difficult on this model than on others which I can find YouTube guide for. They appear to be a simple twist and drop out style. The Superb seems different. Has anyone changed one on the Superb and have any tips?

Thanks
