does it sound like a chattering noise - similar to a flutter... or like this...

in which case you either have a pipe come loose or a large leak somewhere.....

Hi,i'd be pretty sure that what you have is coincidental to the mbc,it sounds like a common S/V40 problem which is the recirculation motor behind the dash on the n/s.If you press the recirc button on the dash (the one with the three lines forming a circle) it will most likely stop making the noise.If so,it is certainly the recirc motor at fault.This is nothing to do with what you have done and is a bit awkward to get at.The official method is to pull the dash away at that side,the unofficial way is to cut a small hole at the back of the glovebox and get at it through the opening you create.The item itself is about 4" by 2" with a short rod attached and will not cost too much for a replacement.We can supply a used one if req.

Like wot readview says. Also if you can take the small cog off and turn it 180 degrees and replace and it should be good as new.....unless a previous owner has already did this!!!
