Greetings!

Scipio (1993 190E) is expressing his annoyance at the unseasonable weather...

Now that the temperature has been consistently below zero, a few seconds after I start Scipio up the is a loud squealing sound (like a fan with a bad bearing) for a good several minutes, at which point the sound disappears. It seems to be coming from behind the passenger-side of the dash.

I don't like anything that sounds like a squealing bearing, but I've no idea what's lurking behind the dash and where to begin looking. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Brian
