Hi chaps

About 3 months ago, my car from start up until warm! and only when you apply accelerator when moving! Makes a!! Best I can describe bubbling squeaking noise[emoji50]

Hard to pin point noise! I wanna say by gearbox/stereo! But it seems behind glove box!
I wanna say fan motor but even if I turn it all off it still makes noise
I did do a little video for your amusement

Sorry video with be shortly as can't upload at the minute.

A dry leaf or twig in the fan, perhaps.

Well I was thinking that! But it only does when it's cold & that's regardless if the fans on or off..
Once it's warmed up 5/10 mins not a sound out of it!
But I will check again just to rule it out. Cheers Dec.

If you watch the video below, at the 2 minutes and 55 seconds mark, you can see the location of the fan. It might be possible, with the fan turned off, for the fan blades to rotate while the car is in forward motion due to the rush of air into the cabin.

A trapped leaf below, as seen from the underside of the fan inside the cabin. At the time, this leaf sounded like broken motor brushes rubbing of the commentator in the fan motor.
