Fusentast

Actually had a talk with my mechanic when dropping the car off this morning. He was almost certain that it was the blower fan/motors bearings i could hear. He said it was such an easy job to replace it, and he wouldnt do it for me, because he knew i could easily do it myself for under half the price. Sounds like a project for next weekend, if i can get the part in time. Does anyone know if its worth buying a more expensive one or if the 'discount' brands are fine? The Nissens one costs 97£, and the cheaper brands are half of that.

I can hear it through the vents i think, and if i turn the air con off, the sound disappears

The sound is coming from withing the car, so i hope its not the compressor. I have a very good shop i use for the stuff i dont want to do myself. Actually going there tomorrow for a DSG service and some new tyres. Might have him take a look at it. I think i will have my mechanic take a look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the replys!

Hi all I have a 2015 Octavia 2.0 TDI Combi. There is an annoying chirping coming from the aircon, almost like a cricket is stuck in there. An odd part of the problem, is that the chirping gets higher when i turn the steering wheel. It doesnt seem to be affected by temperature setting or fan speed. And its not always there... or maybe it is... my music is just too loud. My passengers are the ones complaining! Do any of you have any idea what it could be, before i tear the whole dashboard apart? Sound clip is attached. I have taken off the glovebox and the audio is recorded in front of it. I have found a few other similar posts, but none that has an answer to whats causing the sound. None of them have the same sound im hearing, and all of the others were/are MK2's. Thanks in advance. 20201018_110624.mp3
