    The fan is located under the glove box, not behind the facia.

    yeah i've booked it in but it's gonna take two weeks to get it in. when i had it serviced two weeks ago as a part of the 120k service i told them about it and they said they fixed it but the next day it came back again so they have said they would have to investigate some more. They said i wouldn't have to pay to get it looked at again but you just don't know with some places. It's just an annoying sound to put up with. thats why i was hoping someone who has had to access it before could help me fix the problem if it was a simple DIY thing.

    open the glove box -- on the right hand side and left hand sides right at the bottom hinge use a flat blade screwdriver to prise one out, the glove box then slides out.. that should get ya started

    Is this a constant clicking noise whenever the fan is going? Mine makes a bit of a 'clunk' a few seconds after changing modes (eg; from re-circulate to demist)? I dunno if its anything to worry about or not.

    Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know anything about that?

    There's a sticky about getting to the fan at the top of the VT-VX section, I suggest reading that.

    Red face fan access

    I don't know ... maybe I missed something.

    However, I accessed my cars fan easily. Underneith the glove box, I just undid the 3 screws, took the cover off ... and there's the fan. Easy to pull out the fan from there. I got it out, and put it back in within 10 minutes.
