I need to get that sorted as well finally ...
I did mine this weekend as I was quoted about £60 for a breakers unit or £350ish from my local Stealer. After removing the sound proofing the high speend vacum cleaner sound was even worse than before...
It seemed a bit easier than the Golf
guide Greesha link to. Basically I removed the hose and power, then unscrewed the three retaining bolts, with a little rotating and gentley pulling it into the rad fan blades it slid out.
4 out of the 6 rivets had died with gap between halves very obvious, a gentle prod of screw driver got them out with a 4mm drill bit making mince meat of the remaining two.
Six M4 x 45mm bolts+nuts replaced the rivets (with a lot of thread lock).
Started the car 12hrs later and the unit was buzzing nicely without the noise, then as previously mentioned it cut out after 30sec.
For £4 in Zinc bolts I recokon its a worth while job
even if yours havent failed yet. Mine had no sign of corrosion on the rivets, just plain weak rivets.
