Annoying Clicking Noise from Heater/AC

    Hi,

    On long drive home yesterday evening I noticed an annoying clicking noise whenever the heater or ac is on. Noise sounds like it coming from behind the dash somewhere on passenger side.

    Only bought the car about a month ago from a dealer and it came with a 6 month warranty. Should I be expecting the dealer to fix this under the warranty?

    Was it constant or just for a short time after you turned on the heat? Could it just be the plastic expanding from the heat?

    It's constant and stops immediately when I turn off the heater/ac:(

    Try turning on the air recirculation or change the airflow to another setting to see if it occurs on all settings, will help pinpoint the problem.

    I had this problem in my fto. It was really faint though. I figured it would be more hassle to diagnose than it would be to live with. It didn't happen all the time,but when it did, it was a constant click. I think it was onky when cold air was on though.

    It happens on all settings and if anything gets slightly louder when the "air recirculation" button pressed.

    Car is a Qashqai by the way.

    Maybe there's something stuck in the fan.

    Is that something I can get at easily? Reading up here and some folks saying they had to remove dash and all sorts to fix similar issues.
