Title: ticking noise from dash area
Post by: snakedog on February 17, 2009, 08:32:42 pm

Does anyone have a ticking noise from the drivers dash area? my cars a dsg and it makes a ticking noise (about 5 ticks in sucsession) just after pulling off and whilst driving at say 15mph it seems to do it when slowing down or steadily accelerating?

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.

Behind the spedo/pedal area im 100% sure of that it almost feels like a pulse typr noise.

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 ?
