V.W golf mk4 1999 .v.reg v.5 - climatronic heat/cooling system - joewright

clicking sound from rear of parcelbox in passenger footwell, narrowed it down to climatronic when I press the recirc/ button the clicking stops for a sec then starts in a diff/ tone I have managed to stop it by randomly pressing buttons, it starts on it's own, or when ignition is switched on. not a const/ click but a pattern to the clicking. it seems to be switching the air intake? P.S the car gets little use over a year!!

I would suspect the recirc flap actuator flap mechanism is broken.Take the glove box out and disconnect the electric motor.Make sure you manually open the flap to the fresh air position.You can see the position of the flap if you remove the pollen filter housing,under plastic cover,rear of engine bay.hth
