Default What fun sound will my S4 create next? Now I've got a tweety-bird sound (m)

Driving at speed >30mph, and turning the steering wheel to the left, i get a blaring tweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet that continues until i straighten the wheel. Weirdest thing is that it sounds like its coming from the cabin (dash area), and that the noise doesn't seem to intensify or fade --- it just comes on when i turn then leave. Anyone know WTF this may be?

Default Ugh. Thanks for reminded me of those days :/

You forget how nice it is to have a quiet interior until it isn't quiet anymore. Last winter, I drove without the heat on brrrrr

No idea, but I only had it when turning left as well. Lube up the blower and it'll be gone.

Default This thread should answer all those questions....

If this thread doesn't answer all your questions, try doing a search for "climate control" and/or "S4patrick climate control"<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1574247.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1574247.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default yup. At low fan speed I get it no matter which way I'm pointed. Gr.

My rearview mirror decided to not auto dim anymore. And the aux fan stays on high speed the whole time now. In 34 degree weather, it takes my oil a loooooong while to warm up. Which is actually a nice finding, maybe track guys can somehow rig a resistor or switch to flip that puppy on and keep oil temps down, as it pulls a lot of air across the oil cooler.
