I've had this noise since I got my car last year, it's coming up to the end of the 3yr warranty this year so I need to get it sorted at the dealer.

 

Can anyone identify the noise, it happens when I turn on the fans (ac or not). It's coming from behind the glovebox so I presume it's a relay but wanted to check here first.

 

 

Sounds like a fan motor to me. Does it change as you increase the speed?

No, the noise stays the same regardless of fan speed

Diagnostics might answer this question, if you have acces to one. It could be a jammed motor or actuator.

I have VCDS, just checked again to make sure, there are no faults logged

So I would think it's more a motor than an actuator so. Check the cabin filter for debris.

No motor debris in the pollen filter, it does need replacing though!

 

I'll book in it at the dealers to see what the noise is
