    Default Ticking noise from heater

    Hey guys, have a low ticking noise coming from the heater blower but only happens when on number 1 and 2, there is no sound at all when using 3 and 4.
    I was reading through the threads to do with "recirc" but I don't think it's that as I think if it was it would tick/click on all settings. It seems louder when the car is cold and once it's heated up it fades away after a while, sound is still there but can hardly hear it. When the sound fades and the stereo is on low volume I cant hear it at all.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    take the pollen filter out and turn the fan if its stiff grease the fan bearing. but be careful because if it is stiff it will blow the resistor.

    you have checked the scuttle?

    Had a go at this today, took out the pollen filter and scuttle was clean and heater motor was turning freely but sprayed in some grease anyway and still getting the ticking noise. The noise sounds like a bad tappet but it's defo coming from glovebox. I'm gonna try the other How 2 of taking the glove box out and drilling a hole at the bottom of the blower and spay some grease in there and if that don't cure it I'll take it I'll me a new recirc thingy ma jig

    It's probably the "broken cog wheel" problem. There are how 2's on here about it. Mine is the same incidentally

    Unless it's driving you "MENTAL", leave it until it stops altogether LOL

    I have just changed my resistor on my climate. I was getting a ticking noise too. The ticking does not come from the fan itself but from something that is moving behind the centre of the footwells. I think it is to do with what vents the air comes out. Untill anything else stops working ill be leaving it alone.
