Heating problem?

[HARWOOD]

Hi to all you permanent grin on the face owners :mrgreen: (Because we all own the latest and greatest sensation - the RCZ )

When I'm driving I have noticed that if the heating is set to the down arrow only (no A/C, auto or any other directional settings) and turned up to settings above three lights I get what can only be described as a intermittent blowing sound that's quite loud & blustery sounding? However, when I press additional direction buttons it seems to quieten down?
Could you please try this setting and advise me of your findings?

Thanks all.

there are some settings that give a distinct whistle...

But then you are simply using a fan to force air about a car.. so noises are to be expected. I had that in Audis, Hondas and MG's so didnt really even notice it till i looked :lol:

I tried this today and yes there is a distinct whistling kind of noise, which does disappear if you choose different directional options too or turn the setting up beyond 3 lights. It must be a "feature"

I always keep mine on auto and a/c so have never had this / noticed it before.

Thanks Figo for your comments and an extra big thank you to RCZ1 for trying the settings :clap: .

Still sounds like a tornado though!!! :roll:

Cheers.

I hate not being able to hear the engine over the blowers. I rarely turn up the dial past 4 because of this. I like to be able to hear what is going on up front!

This happens with my car, there is a whistle sort of sound coming out of the airvents on certain settings. Very strange.

the whistling only happens when the fan is directed to your feet if you add other directions it will silence it a little but take the downward directions indicator off it dissapears all together :eusa-think:

Mine is the same, characteristic of the car.

Hi folks, i'm happier now that i've read this thread, as i too have the dreaded whistle ! Like you say, only on the down pointing (on it's own) setting.
Only last week (before i hit on this forum), i went to the dealer to make a note of it, they had no knowledge of the noise before.
Now i know that it's not a fault, i can happily forget it!!
