Glad you've said this, thought it was me imagining it? Mine only seems to be when on the lowest setting on Auto, yours?

Mine sounds like a bag of nails, booked in for MOT & warranty work on the 7th May, so have asked them to look at the air con too!

They are sorting an annoying rattle in the passenger door, & an intermittantly faulty folding mirror switch too! When it was recently serviced they kindly changed all 4 centre caps under warranty. lovely, sweet VW!

Ok cars back from the dealers today, no issues found but the tech thought it was air bouncing of a closed vent :whistle: not really convinced but will keep an eye/ear on it. I'm on an used car extended warranty so any 'no faults found' I'm liable labour costs if further investigation is requested.

So, I finished early today and gave the wife's cab a good clean ready for the weekend so this meant she had to take mine. She pulls up on the drive and says "you would tell me if you'd done anything to your engine on your car" straight away I laughed and said its the bloody air con.

Gonna have to get it booked in as its doing my head in!
