Hello predetor. Yes i do wona fix, i fkn hate that sound and sick of punching the **** out of the dash hoping it stops. OK so you have this part called the 'heater box', if you are mega positive that the noise will stop, then yes I will definetly buy it. How big is the part and how much is shipping, as I am located in melbourne, I am going to get it installed for free from my mechanic, so not a problem.

Is it doing it all the time, or just when you start up the climate control or make a change to the settings??

It must be major if its that annoying. Some only do it a tiny bit, and it never worries me that much. I have the relays, which are basically motors which open the vents when you turn up or down the temperature to mix the aircon and heating. Its the sound of them trying to open, and slipping and hence the ticking. There are three of them which control each of the different vents.

I can take the ones off shown and can send them to you for $30, let me know via PM.

mmmmm those relay motors are not usually cheap, i had the same prob and ended up buying a second hand one from just japs for over $100 from memory... Fitting it was a task, apparently it is an extremely common prob!

its that poofter on the top of the box that does it....i have repaired one of them once...i think the gears strip out on one side inside the mechanism......the motor rotates but it doesnt use all the gear so you can take the little gear off and spin it around a bit......but you have to take the dash out to do this....about 1 hour out...1 hour back in...

Stepper motor not relay!!! relay annoying!!

Mine does it too but I can't fault the operation of the climate control.

I hardly ever hear it, Thanks remote start!

and if i tried to remove my dash it would take forever because of the insane alarm and tracking wiring!

So in short install remote engine start and you will hardly ever hear the stupid clicking noise!:D

I very well may, think my alarm sh|t itself, might as ewll get a new one wif remote start and auto window winder thingy when it arms.

Thanks heaps guys!

you will need a spare thousand dollars to get a name brand alarm that does that :)

motor/relay/doova/whatever... $100 ?!! I've still got all 3 of them sitting here, the guy who said he would take them never got back to me.. PM an offer if you want it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
