Heating vibrating?
« on: February 25, 2015, 09:40:46 am »
Hi i have a mk5 Gti with the dual climate (i think they all have this anyway?)

When i put the heating on the car vibrates like mad almost as though im revving the engine to about 3k although the engine itself is idling fine...

It only started doing it today on my way into work an im worried now as some ody has left a deposit on it and is picking it up on friday :o

I dont want to sell a car with problems so would rather have it sorted for the new owner so im just wondering if anyone has any idea at all what it could be?

Ive searched the forum and google but cant find any info

Thanks in advance  :happy2:

Is it because the air con is running?

The revs rise on mine and you notice a change in the engine idling sound?  Not vibrating like mad though! :jumping:

Sounds like the ventilation fan is damaged... I'm sure it can be accessed below or behind the glovebox?

Cheers guys, managed to sort it today i followed a guide online on how to remove the motor and there was literally a handful of leaves in there and it turns out my cars not had a pollen filter in there either, it was serviced by vw last month aswell which is pretty shocking because theyve ticked that the pollen filters been changed  :laugh:
