I have a 96 850 t5, there is a constant squeak coming from the passenger side of the dash and its still there when the car is not moving but with the engine on. I am slowly going insane, I know that if I turn the radio up the squeak stops, but I would like to keep my sanity so any clue how to cure this squeak would be good!

Do you have the internal blower/fan running? This is in the lower passenger area and can squeak like crazy.

I think it can be lubricated to quieten down the squeaking. The fan isn't too difficult to get out and I need to do mine as it also squeaks, especially on right hand bends :D

You cant let the mrs hijack your beloved T5 :wtf:

Leave the squeak alone or fix it but dont tell her ;)

Like above sounds like the Fan to me, mine does the same every now and again, turn the fan off and it wont squeak :B_thumb:

Although a spray with some WD should sort it.

Cheers

Think I will keep the squeak and every time she gets in I will put the heater on lol, as soon as she found out about the heated seats it was "hmmm think I will be driving this soon"
How About NO!
