Am about fit to be tied !
Have been struggling with a new intermittant noise for about a month now.
Seems to eminate in the dash area above left side of glove box,
A creak rather than a clunk.
So what have I done.
Tightened everything in that area - starter mounts, clecked bell housing,
checked brake booster mounts, jammed the air vents solid, removed center
console and still no improvement.Tightened windshield side mounts doors
checked.
Was convinced was something to do with the heater controls - spent most of one
weekend removing and replacing it more securely (what a pia job !).
The noise is not tied to road or engine speed, but worse when going over
uneven surface, even very slowly. Also thought was worse after car was warm so
switched heater valve off.
Thought had breakthrough as got a lot better with top up that pointed to
windshield mounts. But no after a few days back as before. Actually sounds like
expansion type noise.
It even occasionally does one or 2 creaks when car stops.
In last 2 years had windshield replaced so wonder if could be a problem there
?
Cannot recreate the noise with all manner of pushing and pulling of dash or
glovebox or airvents and windshield in that area.
Tried jacking the rear end up in case was chassis but no change,
What is maddening is that there are times when for aboiut 20 mins of driving
it is gone....
Ideas please !
rg.
