I'm hoping that I can draw on someone's knowledge of Citroens to help me identify and stop a mysterious, mechanical activity that my Citroen C2 1.6 GT carries out approximately 35 secods after the key is removed.
The best way to describe it is a "Click.....Click. Whirrrrrrrrr" noise. You can hear an amplified recording here: http://audioboo.fm/boos/497960-citroen-click-click-whirring.
The first click emanates from behind the glove box in the engine bay. The second click and whirring comes from behind the dashboard on the driver's side.
This continues at 35/40 sec intervals until either the battery goes flat or I return to the vehicle.
It's as if the car is trying to constantly kill power to something, but there is nothing running, so it just keeps going.
I've had the electrics checked out by a Citroen dealer - alternator, battery quality and other electrical checks all passed. I've been through the manual and trawled the web, but found nothing that matches these symptoms.
I thought that perhaps it was the non-standard radio (a Blauplunkt Toronto 400) causing the issue, but the garage confirmed that radio was fitted correctly.
I throw myself to the mercy of this group - Please help!
Thanks.
Ben
