  • Take the wife's car out today (Tuesday), all quiet.
  • Return an hour or so later and a fan in my car is screaming it's head off.

It's wasn't the radiator cooling fan. Noise was coming from passenger side right up near the firewall. As soon as I went to open the door to pop the bonnet (comfort access), it stopped.

I rarely use the remote pre-conditioning function and certainly haven't in the past couple of months.

It's booked in for a service next week so I'll have them look at it.

May well explain why I have seen low battery alerts on the odd morning over the past few months....
Sounds like the problem Im having as the noise is coming from the same location. Not sure what the fan controls, but its loud.
FYI, the fan can run for several hours and will stop when you lock/unlock the door or when the battery is low.

Will have mine looked at during the next service in August but in the mean time trying to record the event as evidence.
