Where exactly is it coming from? I think there's a well known problem (in the GTI) of the noise emanating from the stereo region.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm pretty sure that this is just the climate control system moving the flaps within the air vents to circulate the air. I get this all the time, and I think most on here will agree that they have the same noises!  :smiley:

It's a ticking bomb mate...  :wink:

Have you tried a basic settings reset of the climate control using vcds?

Had this ticking a while back which seemed to come from behind the glove box. Dealer sorted it out at last service. Replaced under warranty the air recirculation flap motor. Apparently its a very common problem and they said they had done quite a few on MKV's.



I think IIRC the part isn't cheap so would probably suggest if it's still under warranty getting the stealer to check it out ?
