Bounce Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hello all, I have had a problem with my aircon being noisy for a couple of months, it does work but makes horrid noises, my fix for this problem was to switch it off , but now we have had slightly cooler weather its time for heat and the heater is making rather annoying noises also! There's also a vibration that i can feel through the peddles, does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think it it may be a stuck motor (mkivs.net/forums/thread/399710.aspx) or the notoroius fan problem (climatronic cars only) have a look in the R32 forum for the fan problem HtH Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocrp Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I have a similar issue, have posted a couple of times with no decent responses. My car is a Passat '99 SE. When the aircon is running, I can hear the compressor/motor running quite loud inside the cabin. I also get the vibration in the pedals. Recently it has developed the problem that was mentioned in the R32 forum, that the main radiator fan comes on regularly when idling, even in fairly cool weather.

Bounce Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i have had a look in the r32 forum and can't find anything very useful, can anyone tell me what the heap would be doing if it were the fan problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Could be leaves in the blower fan for the heater, Makes a really bad noise and vibration. Pop the pollen filter out and check for leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 My friend has the problem & believes it is the motor thing, I think it is the fans but he is too lazy (worried ?) to open the bonnet to have a look ! Here is the TSN thread about them - Coolant Light of Doom & here is the thread on ukmkIVs with an adaptation fanfix It is worth reading it all as they are easy to diagnose also a lot of people have been getting goodwill support from VAG HtH Martin PS I don't think my fans have ever worked so will be going in under warranty soon !

mulkbear Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Possibly it could the balance clips on the blower motor have came off or out of position and caused the motors fan to become unbalecned causing a vibration/booming when the blower motor is switched on. Have had serval cases at work, but normaly on 9n polos and 3b passats not 1j golfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] its not a constant noise it tends to start after the aircon has been running a while, i can't describe the noise but its not a booming, i think i'll just have to take it in and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocrp Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Tobes, I am aware that the fans run when the aircon is on. What I mean is that the main radiator fan switches to high speed. This should only happen in very hot situations. It is definitely not normal behavoiur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocrp Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Have discovered what the problem is. The aicon condenser fan is knackered. Not moving at all. Not looking forward to the bill to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
