dazzer 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Since getting the vr there has been an intermitant whine noise coming from behind the dash,It sounds like its coming from the middle behind the climate control area.Everything works as it should but does anybody have an idea on what it could be and what I could check.

oldmandon 1 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Silly question, Have you tried turning all the blower controls to off to see if the noise disappears?? If not, it could be a bearing in the fan motor running a bit dry.... Link to post Share on other sites
dazzer 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have yes even with the climate control turned off the noise is still there Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Are you sure it's not the water pump as they are renound for being noisy Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Ah good point, the Aux water pump, as they continue on after the engine has been turned off as well....... Link to post Share on other sites
dazzer 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Had a good listen around today, the noise is not from the engine bay 100% from behind the dash. Seems to be there as soon as I start the car however I think it is to do with the climet control as I had it on today on the way to work and back and after a while wasnt as loud so could well be the fan bearings ,Question is how hard is the fan unit to get to and grease the bearings or is it best to just live with it.

oldmandon 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 dash out I do believe......live with it if it’s not too loud, maybe it’ll go away with usage??!! Link to post Share on other sites
dazzer 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Think you could be right mate,after having the climate on it isnt as loud Link to post Share on other sites
Gazbarber1982 3 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Fan blower motor is easy enough. It's under the dash in passenger footwell. Sure it's a quick job, just a few screws. Definately not a dash out job. Look for the quite thick wires on the plug n that's the blower Link to post Share on other sites
adamcollings 0 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sorry to hijack but its sort of related. I'm getting an electrical sort of whine whenever I let off the accelerator, its coming from somewhere in front of me. My grandparents owned the car since new and it hasn't made the noise all its life. What is it? Link to post Share on other sites
