Over time, leaves and debris can accumulate in the heating fan. This results in an unusual and annoying noise from the fan, and if the problem is not resolved in time, it can even lead to the fan seizing. When you hear this noise, it is advisable to remove the fan and clear away any leaves and debris; the operation is actually quite simple.

On the Fiat Punto, the fan is located under the glove compartment on the passenger side; to remove it, simply unscrew three screws. If you want to proceed with a more thorough cleaning, you can also detach the fan from the plastic housing by prying on three clips, as shown in the video.
