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!

Thanked 22 Times in 21 PostsDo you have the internal blower/fan running? This is in the lower passenger area and can squeak like crazy.

Thanked 22 Times in 21 PostsI 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

Thanked 604 Times in 533 PostsYou cant let the mrs hijack your beloved T5
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
Although a spray with some WD should sort it.
Cheers
