Dashboard whisper

Polo match tsi 1.2 2k miles. With ventilation vents closed, and fan on zero I am still able to gear a whispering noise, like very fast ticking watch, which "hunts" from time to time. Doesn't go away till drowned by radio [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]. I'll take it back to the dealer eventually but would be nice to tell them what it is rather than them tell me they cannot hear it! Any thoughts welcome.

That sounds like a flap motor issue, but with a car so new???? Also you used the term "hunting" - if it is the flap motor(s), then they will be hunting due to losing their positional feedback.
On wife's Polo, with the auto climate control, you can turn the fan of, though further turning of the fan speed knob switches the system off - I think (previous car did!).

Nice thought thank you. D
