Is this when the Air Con unit or Heater Fan is on?
Open the bonnet and have a listen on the bulkhead side and see if you can locate more accurately.

Air conditioning unit noise

Postby Mickthepieman » Wed Apr 09, 2008 6:39 pm

I have just taken out the glove box and the noise is coming from a white plastic box next to the cooling unit. It makes the noise even if the air conditioning unit is on or off.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the airco fnan, its held in with a few bolts, take it out and it give a good clean (they get full of dust etc). If in doubt, post a pic of the box so as we can confirm.
