Hi,

i have anb r reg 2.1 td, the problem is there is a clicking noise from the heater blower. some times when you turn on the Recirculation button it stops but not all the time. also if i turn on the air con this seems to help.

any one got any ideas

thanks

Seems like it's quite common for the recirc flap motor to strip its gears. The usual fix is to disconnect and leave it open.

It is quite a fiddly job. You have to take the glove box off and then somehow go into the car on your back so that you are looking up, and then identify the correct plug. I think it's a brown one. Do a search as somewhere this has been discussed a few years ago.

Also, IIRC, you need to make sure that the flap is left in the open position, so that there is air flow.
