A couple of times in the last two days I have heard a strange noise like fan hitting its casing, when I unlock the car. It comes from behind the right front headlight.

Has anyone else heard this? Do you know what is initiated on remote unlock that would be located in the front right of the engine compartment?

Thanks.

My dealer told me the sounds coming from under the car when I lock/unlock were the SMG.

Is that wrong, then?? I guess that I wouldn't be surprised... haha.

Thank you. It sounds like a pump or motor that is showing early signs of failure. Will have the dealer check it out.

I get sounds of the Hydraulics pumping up when I get near the car or the pressure gets low.

When you get near the car? You mean, without doing anything?
