Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I cleaned it up with acetone on a cotton bud and used acetone on all of the electrical contacts which were also grubby. It worked a treat and I haven't had a problem since.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i noticed today a interior noise, I reckon its the fan or blower in the passenger footwell area. I didn’t sound happy so I turned it off. Question, is there only one ? And is it a easy diy job or a job for someone else ? thanks 75pno 99c4

POST 2Original post

I would start by taking out the pollen filter and seeing if there is something trapped in the fan.

POST 3Original post

Hi, I had this exact problem last year. It was caused by the heating fan behind the dash in the passenger side where you described. It was easy to remove and once out of the vehicle was clogged up with dust etc. I cleaned it up with acetone on a cotton bud and used acetone on all of the electrical contacts which were also grubby. It worked a treat and I haven't had a problem since. I followed the step by step guide below. I have no practical mechanical skills either. It took me an hour from start to finish. Regards Gerry http://www.pelicanparts.c...03-ELEC-HVAC_Motor.htm

POST 4Original post

I sometimes geta low growly sound, quite quiet, when the aircon is switched on and I'd say it's in the centre top row of the dash: was this your noise?

POST 5Original post

Hi Pete, Mine was more like the sound of the fan blades making contact with the shroud that covers them. It did occasionally make a higher pitched squeal though. Gerry

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gents, thanks for the replies, looks like I’m getting up close and personal with the passenger footwell this weekend ! After checking out the pollen filter. 75pno
