Fan noise from around pollen filter

[spyke85]

Since the pollen filter was changed there has been alot of fan noise. On investigation it is coming out from the plastic cover you remove to gain access to the filter itself. There appears to be a recess for a rubber seal or something in this plastic cover but it's not there so presuming this is where the air is escaping from. I've been to Seat but the seal doesn't show up on ETKA, they even ordered a new plastic cover in the hope that the seal came attached to it. Can somebody please have a look to see if they have a rubber seal on there's or offer any suggestions?

Beginning to bug me now as fan strength isn't as good as obviously the air is escaping from where it shouldn't be.

similar thing happened to me last year after a service but I just clipped mine back in. I will be cheacking that before I drive off when its serviced next month!

I've removed the pollen filter several times to check if it was fitted wrong and all seems fine so presuming there is a seal missing or something due to the recess for one being there in the cover

Lot's of hissing noises now coming from the vents and speeds up when stationary. Is booked in on Monday but can anyone suggest anything? Fan strength is terrible.

Could be blocked up pollen filter. The fan strength in my parents' Ibiza was really low until I cleaned out all the dust and crap and then it went back to normal.

Possibly, but its a new pollen filter! It's only since it's had its 40k service it is doing it.
