Hello All,
First post and i'm sorry it needs to be a fault finding one.
I have had my Panda 100HP for about 2 years now, and its been fine for all that time.
About 2 weeks ago a neighbour managed to reverse into it while it was parked on the street. Resulting in a new passenger side wing, and new bumper. My Insurance sorted all that out and the car was returned to me yesterday. While driving home, i thought "lets check everything is working", And I think there could now be a fault with the air con.
After turning on the air conditioning, there is an audible noise which seems to come from the passenger side foot well area, possible further up behind the glove box. The aircon still seems to work as cold air is being pumped out. The noise seems to stop the second the A/C is disabled.
Does anyone know if this would be the correct area for the A/C pump and/or motor assembly to be located, and could it have potentially been "knocked" by the reversing accident ? Could it just be the body shop has done something when fitting the new wing ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
