I'll check mine tomorrow but I'm fairly sure all my vents are open?

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!

Did she think you'd secretly had it mapped?  :laugh:

Hope you get it sorted ok.

God knows, if I had my car tuned ad it sounded like that I'd definitely be taking it back!

Ok, the dealer has had my car for 4 days so far! It's in for 1st MOT, noisy air con, faulty folding mirror switch & an annoying rattle coming from the passenger door/A pillar. They cannot find the source of the rattle & have sent it to their body shop site for investigation! They think it might be coming from the roof! Has anyone had a similar rattle that has been rectified, & could share with me? I do have a courtesy car but would like mine back!

Cheers!

Pair of sunglasses rattling in the overhead storage? I've had that before and was convinced it was the car until I removed them.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Still no noise from mine since opening the vents dirrence may be the car if filling with cool air not hot.

Ha Ha :smiley:....Made me think after reading this... I've had an annoying rattle from passenger door for ages, kept asking various passengers where it was and they couldn't trace it...... Turns out it was sunglasses in the storage... removed them tonight and the rattle has gone, feel a right numpty  :rolleyes:

Always check the storage first  :wink:

I've got an annoying vibration noise coming from passenger door.  First thing I did was empty glovebox and all other storage bins, but the noise still persists!!  Just have to turn music up loud to drown it out.

Turned out to be not enough tension in the near-side wing, discovered by the VW body shop! All under warranty, so pleased to have a quiet car again.
