Noise coming from glove box

[AdamBuz]

Hi I have a CT200h and I’ve noticed in the past week a noise coming from below my glove box. I’m pretty sure it’s from the heater as it gets louder the higher I turn the fan speed up. I’ve read a few things but not sure what it is exactly. Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? Thanks.

Think there was a post on here regarding repairs to the heater fan a few weeks ago.

Try cleaning the cabin filter, and run the fan on full speed with the filter removed for a second or two just in case there are leaves stuck in there.

Hi thanks I’ll try that. But where is the cabin filter found? 

[200h]

at the back of the glove box there is a plastic cover

unclip this cover this gives access to the cabin filter,

you will now see another cover that needs to be unclipped

once removed you will see the filter just gently pull it out

when refitting note the direction of flow on the filter

if you put the filter in upside down you'll have the dust in

the filter blown into the car when you next turn the fan on.

Great thanks for your help. I’ll post how it goes later.

Update! Tried the filter it was a bit dirty so I blew it out with an airline but it was the same. So I went for it and took the fan out underneath like the other thread said. I took it apart and blew it out the cleaned it all up and used a little copper grease. I’ve put it back together and tried it lots of times and it seems fine now. No noise coming from it at all. For now at least! 😁

Excellent 🙂

FYI, cooper grease shouldn't really be used on moving parts as it is abrasive and will cause wear.

I didn't know that about copper grease, you learn something new every day!
