    E30 Aux Fan

    Is the Auxillary fan (driven by the A/C and also when car is very hot) rebuildable? Mine isn't working, its not the resistor, when I jump it and run power to the fan it wobbles and grinds as if it has a bad bearing.

    1.Should I just bite the bullet and buy another OEM one?

    2.Can I rebuild my current one?

    3.Has anyone run another aftermarket one with any response to how it preforms?

    Like I said, my car isn't having overheating issues, the low speed fan just tears itself apart on the low speed when I flip the A/C on. The only time I get cold air is when I'm flying on the highway.
