Not sure if anyone else has ever had this on their 197 or 200, but the heater fan in my car is noisy. It makes a ticking noise when it's on, most noticably on speed 1. It can sometimes not be that noticable, but then other times is very intrusive. It seems to get worse the more I use the car, so on long journey's, by the time I get to my destination the fan is loud. And is much worse when moving. Sometimes it will do it on any speed up to and including number 3, but is quiet on 4. Although this might only be because all you can hear then is the fan blowing so hard! Lol!
I have asked Renault to look at it several times, but they keep fobbing me off. Their latest BS was that there was a leaf in the filter or somewhere.
Previous BS has been:
. Normal noise tollerances
. Replaced fan bearings (I know this isn't true becasue I had to ask what they had done to it and he 'went to check with the mechanic')
. Couldn't find a noise.
Anyone else experienced the same sort of thing? I might book the car in AGAIN and see if they actually do anything this time. It might be beneficial if I request a test drive with the mechanic though I suppose.
