Magnet Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hello Paul, Check that the drain holes in the plenum chambers under the bonnet are free from debris. You should be able to check these by gently lifting the plastic cover forward of the wipers. Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulm81 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I remove the wipers then the plastic along the front? Check drain holes under the plastic? I noticed a filter of some sort? Would this also cause blower moter to be noisy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hello Paul, The filter is likely to be a pollen filter. I'm assuming your earlier-than-my A3 has a different location for it, since mine is up under the passenger footwell. Should change this every couple of years. From memory, I don't think you will need to remove the wipers, but simply gently lift where possible and you should be able to locate the drains. Kind regards, Gareth.
