Aircon fan vibration
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this
With the recent hot weather, my AC fan has been running at high speed a lot more. No problem until today when it made the whole car vibrate. It's definitely the climate control as the vibration is present with the engine off if I turn tha fan speed up Anyone else had this? The cars still under warranty so I'll get it sorted but pointers would be good |

Is this the condenser fan at the front of the car or the blower fan in the heater matrix?

Also if you use recirculation the fan can act like a vacuun cleaner and suck up a plastic bag from the passenger footwell . This is unlikely to be a warranty job .

Thanks for the info. Will take a look
Seems like a design fault if such large objects could get through to the fan and cause this sort of thing. Defo not something from recycle mode as I don't have stuff lying around inside the car but a leaf is a possibility ... |

Had the same thing happen to me. It was a bit of rubber from wind screen change 18 months before. Must have worked loose and dropped into the fan.
