Good evening,
I've had me series 2 380 for about a year now, and one thing that ALWAYS happens in the winter when i start the car (with the heater on) is a clicking noise that comes from under the dash (passenger side, for about 10 - 20 seconds depending on how cold it is)
Its been to Mits once or twice for this and they've got no answer, they did pull the dash apart at one point too, but no luck - does anyone else have this happen to them? or have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I get a clicking sound from under the left hand side of the dash just after the car is started and when you drive off. Only lasts for about 3 seconds and I think it is a flap or something opening or closing in the ventilation system.

Only started doing it 3-4 months back.

I have a similar noise when car is cold. Apparently all quite normal according to RAA and mitsi dealer. Just valves setting on air con
Gee its still cold here in UK. Back in 9 days cant wait. Bet the car wont start though

It's a problem I've never had, but of course now that I've opened my big trap I'm bound to have the problem any day now!

KJ.

Yeah it seems to be a common problem, mine did it for 8 months or so but it seems to have stopped now!

Just turn the music up

Mine has done it for a little while but stops every couple of months and come back and goes again

I dont see it as a problem I just see it as another quirk that MMAL did not get to
