Moaning Ventilation/Aircon system |
|
When turning on/off the aircon I can hear a moaning sound through the ventilation holes. Looks like its coming from the valves inside the ventilation system. Anybody experienced this also and anybody a clue how to fix this? Lubricate valves

It's the pivot/hinges behind the dash. There is a warranty fix/TSB on this problem, (aka the Disco3 fart), but it involves removal of much of the dash.

A squeak/squeal noise is heard a few seconds after pressing the recirculation button on the control panel, it can also be heard when the recirculation feature operates automatically.
Cause: Due to dust contamination of the lubricating grease, the noise is generated by the movement between the two resin linkages, between the recirculation blend door actuator and motor. Suggested Customer Concern Code - C20.
NOTE: In normal circumstances a modified actuator rod (JEH 500020 and JEH 500010) will need to be installed. Should the need arise to replace the recirculation blend door actuator (JNC 500050 and JNC 500040) then the new actuator rod will already be installed, and must only be fitted if a new recirculation blend door actuator is required I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks That explains the strange smell also
Need to check if they still fix it since the car is out of warranty.
Need an easy thing to solve yourself I take?

I'd live with the noise rather than try and fix it myself. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
