allyr Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have just purchased a 1.6TDCI fiesta van on a 57 plate and have the following issues, There is a noise coming from behind the passenger headlamp which sounds like a whining/whistling kettle noise. It can be heard when the car is idling, it appears to be coming from the part that i have taken a photo of, im not sure if this is part of the fuel line or what? any help or comments would be appreciated. Kind Regards Ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny87 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Bit of a crazy idea but inside your headlamps is an electric motor/actuator which is used to adjust the beam of the lights - if you're carrying a load in the back of the van you would aim them downwards slightly otherwise they could be dazzling other road users. You probably know this already, but I would try getting somebody to move the switch with your lights on and listen closely at the headlamps to see if the noise is worse. It could be a faulty motor causing the strange noise you are describing. That's about all I can think of that could be making the noise in this particular location. As I said crazy suggestion but you never know :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyr Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Cheers for that, but the noise happens even with the lights off, no luck finding out what it is yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
