When I enter the part that the EPC shows without filter, I get a whole selection of motors including a Bosch for $98.28 (#W0133-1609617). Will this fit my car with the filters?

Yes it will fit, but it may only last ten years.

Ordered it. I was getting some chirping noises too, so it was probably more than just brushes. Now I just hope I can get the squirrel cages off the shafts without breaking the yellow plastic. Thanks!

Do NOT attempt to extract the squirrel cages cold = below 75° F.
A small electric heater on your work bench can save major expense.

Very careful application of concentrated heat can be a blessing.

Thanks again. That probably saved me from breaking it.
