fan noise

May 29, 2006 4 Replies

I have a maple leaf seed or something caught in the AC fan of my XG350. Sounds like a playing card in a bicycle spoke. How can I remove the fan to extract this? It appears to be sealed off underneath. I know I can pull the cabin filter but not sure if that will provide the needed access.


Got it apart, fixed and back together. Not as hard as I thought it might be. There were 4 pieces of debris lodged in the fan. The main culprit was a label from Hyundai Motor Company for a Bosch part which I suspect is the label off the fan itself. There was also a maple leaf seed (which was what I thought I would find) another piece of dirty paper? and a leaf.

All quiet now!

It's amazing how much misery such small things can cause!
