    Default Weird Clicking noise

    Not sure how to describe this properly so you can understand but i'll try,

    Ever since i pressed the "Auto" botton on the heating controls i get this weird clicking noise for about 4-5 seconds then stops and sounds like it's coming from behind the glovebox area, i've also noticed when i unlock the car using the remote central locking the same noise occurs, it also makes the noise every 15 mins or so even when locked (noticed when washing today) i've have tried going through all the heating controls but no joy to stop the noise, anyone know what it can be? 2005 3.2 GSI

    Happy New Year to all when it comes!!

    Cheers

    Sorry to tell you the servo motor for the recirc" flap is knackered. It happened to my motor too. It seems to be a fault on them. A tooth breaks off one of the gears and renders it usless. Mine cost me £58 trade. If you press the "recirc" button too you should get the noise when you press it to switch off too.
    LOOK here it is a photo The Wixard took of his. Put servo into the SEARCH box on the tool bar it will take you to his thread.

    If you have time to search the threads there is a photo of the "offending" part in it,s place behind the glove box. If you do remove the glove box. don,t pull it out too far as the wire for the light is on the right and you will need to disconect it first.

    Have a look here. Too. This is the full thread by the wizard.
    Sorry this is th same as th one I posted earlier. But as I say do a search for SERVO you should find a lot of information about replacing the broken part.

    It is easy to get to. After you have removed the glove box there are two screws. that hold it on the front one is easy................ Now the one at the back is a real pain in the ass. Very awkward to be honest. but not impossible if you have the patience.
