W176 A180 CDI BE AUTO
Hi Guys

I drive a 2013 A180 CDI W176. I am very happy with it. Just something I am curious about. Sometimes there comes a random short buzzing sound followed by beeps from the passenger dashboard area. Where the fuse box is. It's like "Bzzzzzzzzz, beep, beep, beep". Sometimes more beeps, sometimes less. I have no idea what causes it as no message or light come up on the dash. I have also not been able to establish a pattern or situation that would cause it. It will happen at random times, at random speeds, standing still, in traffic or no obstacles around. And it isn't very loud. If the radio is up a bit you won't hear it. Anybody else had this experience?

Loose relay somewhere.
I had a similar noise from the rear of my Transit which was a relay squealing like a stuck pig on the canbus adapter for the tow bar electrics.
Sounded like a bluebottle on speed !
