The budgie noise

[truthfindergeneral]

Ml 270 CDi, 04 plate. There I am sitting in it with the engine running after just starting it and as I start to drive along, from the passenger side ( around the lower half of the dash ) comes a noise I can only describe as a trapped budgie. Stopped the car and the noise continued for a few minutes. No sign of any budgie as yet .

Tweet what though...?
What is making this strange noise. It's intermittent.

I'm cagey about recommending anything here. You could give it some beans and get a quick trill, but that might end up with you in front of the beak for speeding.

The beak may recommend he does some bird.

I would say it is the ECU cooling fan. If you do a search there are several posts as I had a similar problem. there is a new design of bearing on the latest fans, but I managed to get away with a few applications of WD.

Then I shall reach for the can and have a poke around. Cheers
