Morning, my parking heater has suddenly developed a noisy fan. It's loud enough that its not really useable, its really intrusive with the doors closed. A video can be seen here:
Any possible suggestions? I'd rather avoid visiting the dealer if I could at the moment!

Sounds as if the fan has gone off balance, either due to a fault or debris.
VW won't repair it they would just replace under Warranty and return to Eberspacher.
You could remove the Inlet trim and look for debris but I would be inclined to let VW replace it.
Alternatively find an Eberspacher Dealer, but that wouldn't be a warranty repair.
 
Worth checking for debris.
I had a leaf stuck in mine once. It made a similar sound.
Rather than take it apart, I left it on the highest setting for a couple of hours, it eventually dried the leaf up and spat it out.
