Clicking Noise?

[182laney]

Had my car for about a month now but when i got in my car to go work this morning i turned the engine on and there was a loud clicking noise coming from the centre console!? It sounds like its coming from the air vents or maybe the cd player. Every time i start my engine now it makes this noise.

Made a quick video of it to see if any of you guys no what it is. Any ideas?

Sounds like the fan, mine did it once but it was coming from the drivers side vent. Stopped doing it the next time I started the car.

Definitely the CD player.
Mine does this every time I start the car if there's a CD in it.
It's bl**dy annoying, anyone know what the fix is?

Just been out to my car and it is definatley coming from the cd player. It happens every time i put the ignition on. Surely the cd player is covered in my warranty? It better had be anyway cos ive on had my car a month!

if your car is under 3 years its covered take it a to a dealer and tell them to get it sorted

As Lee said.
If it is over 3 years old, the place you got it from should take care of it.
Have a read of the warranty.

£40 for a repair like that is good, I'll have a look in the Thompson Local.

Its an 04 plate and is just over 3 years old but i bought a full years extended warranty with it when i bought the car last month. Im glad i did now. Ill see what they say at Reno when i take it in on saturday
