Strange noise

clart · 03-12-2015, 01:40 PM

This is driving me mad. Everytime make a right or left turn (going round a round about for example) I get this annoying noise from inside the cabin. like something is sliding about in the door car or under the seat?

just found this thread - I guess its some coins or something

Anyone had this?

Yes. Drove me mad for weeks. Turned out to be a tube of sweets that one of the kids had dropped on the floor which had ended up in the vent under the passenger seat.

I had the same problem - for me it was a metal pen so i used a magnet on a long screw driver to get it out.

Had to remove the passenger seat. Whether this was absolutely necessary or not I can't remember.

I had a fair but of coins inside the underseat speaker housing. Had to take seats off to take the speakers out.

Disconnect the battery before you take the seats off if you do, otherwise you'll have airbag errors on dash
