#1: noise from near glove compartment Author: belti, Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 3:35 am ---- Hi
When I turn on the car (normally in the morning) sometimes I hear a noise typically for a few seconds and it seems to be coming from somewhere near the glove compartment. The noise is very similar like someone is spraying a spray.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thank you in advance.

with the car running but the radio and blower turned off , press the brake pedal and see if it makes the noise.
EDIT , maccas fast

Thank you very much both for your replies. So is this something that needs to be solved as soon as possible or can I wait till the next service which is due in a couple of months?
Also if it is the a leak in the break servo is it something expensive to solve?
Thanks

I have a simular noise, to what your saying, an intermitent noise, like a loudish wheezing, something pumping up, lasts approx 10 secs, on starting the car up in the morning, not always mind you. It is nothing associated to the fuel priming i might add.
Never delved into it though, just presumed its something like the airbag doing a system check or some other self check on another part.
