F0CUE Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Had my focus 08 a year now and it just passed its mot with a couple of bush advisories. One thing that's been really annoying me is a strange click in the dash like the sound of winding up an old clock. From cold the car is 100% quiet then as soon as the temp reaches warm and u feel the heat coming out the fans the tick begins and lasts quite a while. I have tried messing with recirculation switches and ac on/off doesn't make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It has to be related to the heater system.Maybe a damaged fan blade.Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 It started off being just central now it travels across my side and the cluster starts rattling for a bit its very annoying. Could it possibly be related to vibration transfer from the bad bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumplead Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Let me throw a maybe stupid answer in as house radiators sometimes do something like this. As they warm the metal expands and you hear the fast ticking 'like a clock'. So could it be something expanding due to getting hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm not sure tbh its one of these annoying phantom noises but a good theory though doesn't sound stupid to me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Managed to grab a vid of the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
