BHPian MAKMADDY17<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Hello All,<\/p>\n Few days ago I started observing a rattling noise coming from the center console area of the dashboard (Central Ac Vents \/ Infotainment System). The strange part was the sound was not constant rather it was intermittent, hence it became hard to find exactly when it was occurring.<\/p>\n I started noting down the conditions which were triggering it, mostly it was on 3 occasions:<\/p>\n I decided to open the central console section and started searching for articles\/videos around it. Took following two references:<\/p>\n YouTube reference<\/p>\n Leoshashi’s thread on similar issue<\/p>\n Sharing few images of the work below:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the vents were opened:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After opening i was searching to see any hanging coupler which was making sound or any frame but everything looked good. On a sad note I was about to repack everything then I saw the AC vent section. I tried to shake the left one, there was no sound; it had a good space to avoid hitting the surrounding portion.<\/p>\n I tried the same approach on the right one, BINGO I have the culprit !!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Same sound when you shake the right one. It was hitting the dashboard when I was shaking it:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I added extra foams around all the sections of the vent and re-packed everything. I wrapped paper tape on all the locks and tied up some wires to avoid future rattling:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Infotainment check before final packing:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Repacked:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 week observation – No sounds on all the three conditions observed above. So far so good.<\/p>\n Note – Re-packing of AC vents needs a bit of trick and hard. Be careful around it.<\/p>\n Thank for reading.<\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n\n
