Vr Center Vents Noises

[micheledip]

When i have the fan or A/c running in my VR i here this noise like there are leaves in the vents.

If there are leaves what is the best way to clean them out of there???

turn it up!!!

oh and clean the leaves out of the plenum chambers under the windscreen first

my VS has this too .. only seems to happen on higher fan speeds .. Gonna have to pull some bits of the dash apart some day soon to replace some dash lights, so might invertigate the rattle then too .. definitly sounds like a leaf or similar stuck in the vent path, rattling around in there ..

As "jules" said clean out the plenum chamber as often as you can to stop them getting there in the first place.

As for getting them out GOOD LUCK!!!!! Sorry no easy way. But if you remove the glovebox and put the controls to inside recirculated air, with the fan off, you can just get your hand into the blower fan blades enough to get any leaves out of it. As for in the ducting is will most likely be a dash out job... Big job.!!!!

If you can see the leaves, go to Supercheap and by one of the claw things and pull them out! On the VR/s' the front vents in the centre come off with the cluster surround so might be a little easier for you to get to them.

The other thing is that the foam degrades over time and this can cause the same type of noise!

Hope this helps, regards Guy.

Once you taken out the glove box can use a blower to try and blow them out??

your car comes equipped with one

Every VR / VS was built with those rattly noises in the centre vents when on high fan settings, or at least every single one I have been in.......

I have pulled mine apart a few times looking for causes with no luck.

And no - it's not leaves.

Well i dont have that problem on my VS EXEC, My dad also owned a VS S2 Exec and never had the problem.

So i dont think thats its a common fault.
