it will most likely (almost certainly) be the resistor pack, which is
not too too bad to get to, behind the glove box.  best part is that it
is cheap, I got one for about $18 from Atlantic... in stock, because it
is a legacy VW part.

the blowers themselves on these are a bit of a weak link, mine's been
chirping when cold and occasionally at other times for a year and a half
now, I'm sure the chirping means poorly lubed bearings, which probably
is the cause of the dying resistor pack... but the fan is a couple
hundred $$ new and a pain to get to, so I'll wait til the smoke gets out
of it to replace it, probably.
