Help please. Funny noise.


Recommended Posts

any idea where it is coming from - inside cabin / engine bay etc?

If inside, try setting the airflow control manually to one position and turning off the climate control to help determine if it is an air diverter valve hunting and making the noise.

No idea from that but come on, we're good but not that good.

Is it from the front? Back? Engine bay? With engine running or not? When the car is moving or not? When braking? When accelerating? When coasting?

None of the above?

Sounds like it’s coming from behind the instrument binnacle. Was doing it yesterday when I stopped at lights etc.

Apologies.  Noobie error.  It’s coming from behind the instrument binnacle, when stationary and also when moving slowly and then when stopping. Also does it when the key is one position from the “ready” position.

Think it may be coming from the steering wheel binnacle actually?  Seems to be almost inaudible today. I adjusted the little button which moves the position of the wheel and can’t hear it now!

Could be to do with the steering wheel adjustment motors/switch then. 

Be very interested to know the result.

Thanks for the help.  Took it back to the garage who were very helpful, took apart the heater unit and it turns out that there is a piece where pins sit in some grooves on an adjacent piece and one of the pins were not seated correctly, causing that noise and a rattling at speed,  the engineer reset the pins and all seems good

Did they do that free of charge Calum or did they sting you ?
