noisy fan vr v6

[slick1]

Hello can anybody help. when i turn the interior cooling fan on it makes a lot of noise. It makes the same noise if aircon is on or off. The flapping sound gets louder as it goes from speed 1 to 4. Im thinking blower motor? any other possibilities or remedial advise appreciated

Sure its not leaves caught in the fan?

As above - bits of paper, plastic shopping bags etc etc even mice can make nests there.

HMM. if it is leaves or similar id still need to pull out to clean ? Ive looked through the manual and it is quite a big job to get access.

nope quite small and easy

pull the glove box out
pull the backing bit that holds the glove box in place few screws down the sides and on the lh side
than open the air recycle flap to recycle and there you go. access through the top

i found 2 big clumps of foam that had droped down from the dash somewhere, cleared it out and all is good. vibration gorn

hey a big thankyou for your advise. You were spot on . Upon removing glove box and other panel I found plastic in the blower fan and hence the problem.. Turns out that when a friend drove car other day he turned the unit to recycle with full speed aircon. In the glovebox was some plastic which was sucked up into the blower fan.Will watch out what I put in glove box from now on

cheers tommo
