bryfly Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 does it come from the central part of car, ie like fan/air noise? From the driving position it sounds like it is behind the dash on the left, my other half in the passenger side says it sounds like it is coming from behind the middle of the dash, to me it sounds like a noisy fuel pump?

Its a combination of electrical trickery going on behind the dash like the climate etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
