Funny wurring noise

Hi Folks,

My Td5 Auto 2001 has developed a wurring noise when I first turn the key before firing up. It seems to come from down by the ignition area behind the dash somewhere. After starting it is still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

heater fan or air con?

small monkey trapped in the dash? dave the lizzard? daft your cartoon breasts are destracting me again

they aint mine ffs! - they are just in my sig - if I had breasts like that I cud think of better things to while away the hours than be on Lz!

Have Air con fitted, I have the heater on econ so air con not working ? Someone will correct me I`m sure. Does the air con work all the time or just when on auto?

Are you sure it's not just the fuel pump priming? You can hear that when you switch the ignition on before starting the engine. If you have your climate control switched off completely, you won't hear that. The fuel pump noise is a metallic dull whirring noise, and 'seems' to come from the area you describe.

Do you have an electric arial ? if so is the motor sticking on.

TD5s don't have external aerials, dude!

I thought fuel pump was at back under wheel arch? yes this does sound like a high pitch` bee` noise when you turn the key but dont turn her over. This wurring is definately by my right knee (right hand drive car) somewhere.

what is behind the pannel?

Dunno, I will look at the weekend

Something that makes a "bee" whirring noise

Sorry couldn't resist

it might be the switch for moving the headlights up or down that is by your right knee.i know that it is just a switch but the sound from motor travels put your ear there then try the left side.
