Just (finally) had my Puma delivered today and took it for a spin... only to find the fans make a weird squealing whine, or screech which changes in pitch and loudness depending on fan speed.

I could've sworn I read somewhere here about someone with a similar issue but can't find it anywhere. I've booked it in with the dealership obviously, but am I the only one?

Other than that it's amazing :D

Just had it looked at by the dealership, booked in for August as the heater fan / blower motor was burnt out somehow upon delivery. 2-3 day job involving taking the whole dashboard out... great :shock:

A Puma has come into the workshop of the dealership I work at with a very similar noise to what’s been described above.
After stripping the dashboard out with the intention on replacing the heater motor the technician found a piece of paper inside the unit which was rubbing on the fan blades.

It had obviously been in there since production as under normal circumstances the pollen filter will stop anything entering the heater ducts.
