At some point Dolly had some small rodent take up residence in her. The blower motors were the favorite hang out. After cleaning out the passenger fan I realized the drivers side was worse. In order to get the vacuum tube to a point that I could suck the acorns out I had to cut a 2x2 opening in the front of the housing. This allowed access and I could vacuum the damn acorn pieces out. The blower is quiet as a mouse now (pun intended). Airflow dramatically improved also. Here are a couple pics.

Here is where the hole I had to cut in the blower housing is. Was half way through cutting when I took pic.

Here is a shot of the acorns and fibers from the engine compartment inside the blower.

 

"Nutty" Jag, well done!

 

Well done indeed.

Hope you’re “nuts” about the improvement in your cabin now. Rattling is a real kill-joy in the driver comfort of the X100.

Here, I finally managed to get a “quiet” driver experience, so, then decided to fit a more enthusiastic noisy exhaust.

I’m Asian so it’s all Ying-Yang to me..... Pass me the dremel angle grinder....
