When I start my car 2011 1.4 Titanium Tdci, I get a strange knocking/rattle from somewhere behind the dash does it 8 or 10 times quite quick then stops also does it randomly when driving but its quite intermittent!!

Anyone any idea as to what it might be ?

I thought perhaps something to do with heater blower direction, but does it even if heater blower switched off.

    Yes, thanks that is exactly the sound I get. I'll get the part and replace it.

    Thank you for your help.
