Grande Punto heater noise

[caran10]

Hi folks newbie here, i have recently bought a 56 plate grande punto 1.4 petrol for my wife .Suddenly the heater is making a loud vibrating and ticking noise at all speeds it is really annoying (even turning the radio up doesn't mask the noise)
I would be extremely grateful for any advice regarding this problem
regards

Hello and welcome to FF,
possibly a leaf / parking ticket caught in the fan,
is it there on a ll speeds?,

look in the GP section for a guide on pulling the fan motor out.. not as complicated as it may sound,

Big thanks to everyone for their help in solving this problem. It was exactly as diagnosed. Leaves in the motor. Easy job to do worst part was locating duct back in position. Quiet as a mouse now. Thanks again Alan
