"Clicking noise"
I started to notice an annoying "clicking noise" coming from the engine compartment - it sounds like the fan is switching on and off. It's pretty loud and I can hear it inside the car with my windows up. It happens constantly every 20-40 sec. even when the car is cold... I spoke with my dealer and they said that it may be a A/C fan. The only thing is that I'm not using A/C when is 40 outside... Any suggestions?

damn, I was going to say A/C but then I read your 40° comment.
pop the hood and see if you can identify where it's coming from. Maybe from the belts? Alternator area?

I know what was the problem EDZRIDE was close - I just went downstairs to check my oil level and my climate controle mode was set for the window and floor. I guess front window defogger turns on the A/C compressor as well... I'm guessing that's normal... Thanks again!
