Couldn't find any other panda owners with anything like this so I hope someone can help.

My 100hp has as long as I can remember (3.5 years of ownership now) has had a continuous electronic beep in the engine bay whenever the ignition is on.

Most audible when the engine is off (ignition on) but its still there with the engine on.

No warning lights or fault codes stored.

It never goes away! Fortunately cannot be heard inside the car, but is concerning!

Any ideas?

Throttle body?
I know the one in my Tipo often whines for the first 10s or after turning the key but stops after that


Any idea rough location the noise is coming from?

Thanks, yep seems like throttle body.

Sounds just like

But its there all the time I think.

the one in the video should be easy. Just keep unplugging until it shuts up.


ABS pump sounds like this

Yes my throttlebody does exactly the same.

I have had 3x Pandas but not the 100HP and they have slightly buzzed for a few seconds only

Good to hear its not just mine that never stops buzzing. Although perhaps both our throttle bodies are failing!

?

Nah... I have mine 7+ years now. Has always done that.

As others have said, it's the throttle body and completely normal.
