I'm pretty sure this isn't specific to just the diesel, but I've developed this slight noise from the HVAC fan. It sounds like it's making contact with something. It sounds like a slight quick ticking noise. Anybody else have this problem?
Great. I'm out of warranty.I had a bird chirping sound at low fan speeds. It's the press-fit bearing at the fan getting loose. Had mine replaced at no charge under warranty.
How did you access the area needed to get to?Mine did it too. Easy and cheap enough to replace if you've got some basic tools.
I think he was probably referring to the bearing and not the whole fan motor itself.I could have sworn the diesel fans were silly expensive when I was looking at a crash damaged Gen1 diesel a couple of months ago.Mine did it too. Easy and cheap enough to replace if you've got some basic tools.
Friggin hilariouspatiently waiting for @NickD to regale us with the virtues of automotive fans from the 1920sI think he was probably referring to the bearing and not the whole fan motor itself.
