Hi guys,

 

Every time when I enter the car, I can hear a short pitch noise. I think it comes somewhere from behind dashboard / ventilation. It´s short but quite annoying. It can be heard in some intervals until I start the engine, after that it´s one or two times more and then silence.

 

I tried to catch it on the video (link bellow), but it didn´t want to be caught, so the volume has to be adjusted high to hear it. But in reality, it´s much louder. The times when it occurs is: 00:12, 00:17, 00:20, 00:33, 00:36, 00:55, 1:04, 1:10 and 1:17.

 

Also, I attach another video, made for another purpose but there at 0:03 it can be heard quite easily.

I have heard lot of about AC compressor Sanden causing something similar, but the noise starts even before the ignition is turned on.

 

Sorry for lot of questions at this forum recently. I did buy the car few weeks ago and trying to figure out what is normal and what is not. The car is still under manufacturer warranty, so when it became hotter outside (when I don’t mind to walk or use public transport) I will send it to the Skoda Garage with a list of issues :-D

 

Your has not got a remote CD player has it, in my wife's 2015 VW Polo, I used to heard what I considered to be the glove box mounted CD player performing a quick maybe tracking arm re-cal - though either now I'm not listening for it or it has stopped doing that for some reason, maybe even an "within warranty" software update.

 

Edit:- the windscreen washer action in the first vid clip does not look to be what you want from them.

I discovered often the throttle body likes to cycle and check itself on first starting up and also when turning off. That usually makes a fairly high pitched noise.

 

The aircon flaps (if you have the higher spec automatic one) will also move about and make a little noise too.

Yes, I have automatic AC - Climatronic, I just set the temp and it makes it and keeps it. I wasn´t "slamming" the door in the video every few seconds for no reason, but closing the doors after entering the car (with engine off) always triggers that. Usually it does it few times even afterwards as I mentioned above, but that time it did not want to be caught so it did not happen and I had to be slamming the door to trigger that. But that´s a certainty, I tried even after finished recording and every time after closing the door it made this noise.

No I do not have any CD player at all in the car. Just original Amundsen and that is all.

 

And about that washer... I know. I know... I started another topic on that issue and I can see that you have replied there as well so I´m gonna post about that topic there.

Yes, I had read your other thread first, so just commented about that in this thread as I noticed it in that video
