P3 Volvo (V70/XC70/XC90 2007 - ) Heater fan tool
Discussion
Having recently swapped out the noisy heater fan (blower) on my 2007 130k mile P3 V70 I have an official Volvo service tool (required to remove the actual fan and motor from the HVAC unit) for sale. One careful owner, only used once 
Before I put it up on a popular internet auction site I thought I'd offer it to the denizens of PH first.
There's a Youtube video and a detailed post on another Volvo forum that explains how to do the job. The symptoms are a whine-type noise from the fan, mainly on low settings and when the air is cold. Bloody annoying. The only solution is a new fan, but it's not a job for the faint-hearted.
As mine was one of the early cars I'm guessing the problem will increasingly start to manifest itself on other cars as the parc ages. The tool is currently €103 (plus shipping) on the Skandix website - no reasonable offer refused. Any interest, questions, etc. please contact me via the forum.
You even get the official Volvo tool hanger and identification tag

For the sake of completeness, the sale on fleabay is up and running, it ends on Saturday 21st December 2019 at 8:00pm and there is already a bid in that guarantees the tool will be sold.
If you're interested, search for "Volvo V70/XC70/XC90 P3 (2007-) HVAC (heater/air conditioning) fan removal tool".
If you're interested and reading this after Saturday 21st December 2019 then I'm afraid you're too late - you missed a potential bargain.
