bitman Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 While driving I noted a funny sound coming from behind the instument cluster. it's hard to describe what the sound is but it's like you move your hands trough a staple of dry leaves. What can this be?
Gambit Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Safe to say I'm not sure mate sorry :( I'd be tempted to remove the fascia/surround pull it out give it a little Fonzie blow, and put it back see what happens might be a lose connection.
stants Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If you remove the access pannel below the steering column you should be able to see up and round behind the centre console. And up behind the clocks. The piping for the blowers runs across the top of firewall maybe has leaves in ?
bitman Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 That is very well possible as she was from a farmer from new... And the amount of dust etc I have removed from the lugage compartment is inmens ;)
Jay762 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 sounds like leaf or leaves trapped either in the fan or in the trunking, does it change pitch when you turn the fan up or down / disappear when fan turned off?

Anyway. Do you have the grilled scuttle area inbetween the bonnet and windscreen ? Mines full of dry leaves and i've not worked out how to remove them without taking half the front off. Might not be the cause of the noise or could be making their way in somehow ?
Gambit Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow yeah thats shocking I'd Have a look at the pollen filter I bet most of it has come through that if it even has one in :D
Gambit Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Could start your own moveable allotment in the back their :D
bitman Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 have noticed that the noise is there when with lots of wind and only with speeds higer then about 50 miles, probably some leaves.
Gambit Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Looking at the rest of the car I'd say maybe a full tree, might even be able to pick apples from it if you're lucky ;)
bitman Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 yep, yep, this forester is being used as a real 4x4 mud monster
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Its probably some woodland creature wondering what the hell happened, one minute foraging in a field next vacuumed up by some huge induction system :D
