My XE94 suddenly developed a very annoying sound like "kir kir........" which could be heard when the car was driven from inside. it increased with speed and felt like coming from the dashboard.
well me and my father both assumed that its from the speedometer. something must be wrong with the cable. went to a nearby mechanic who opened up the meter and there was no cable behind it(its electronic). he said maybe the circuit which rotates is dry causing the sound.would oil and fit back.thats what he did.
sadly on test drive the sound was still there. took the meter out and drove the sound was still there.
took the middle vent portion out (sound was still there)
took out the windscreen vipers and the grill for fresh air to see stuck leaves
no success
opened up the drop box passenger side.
opened up the blower even.
the sound was still there and was untraceable
we were making mind to open up the dash board when we took another drive and i said it seems the sound is coming from the roof.its not from the dash board at all. the sound was extremely confusing. 3 ustaads of the market failed to catch it.
while i was driving he took his head out of the car (to check if the sound is coming from somewhere outside)
he extended his hand on the roof and the voice vanished. when i asked what did he do. it was a small broken rubber of the windscreen flapping with air causing the sound.
didnt know whether to laugh or cry on this..........
khair, he assembled everything back. alteast the speedometer got cleaned (car mileage untouched)
