Clicking noise

HI all
I've just changed the battery on my c3 and there is a clicking noise coming from under the staring wheel area
Can anyone advise me as to what this may be

It was not there before we changed the battery

Many thanks

Absolutely no idea what it is.

If you put the old battery back on, does the sound disappear?

Do you get the noise without the key in the ignition? or In the accessories position or the ignition position or the starting position..

Only get the noise when engine first started and then around 30-40 seconds later and then nothing else
I'm baffled

I had a focus that did something similar. It turned out to be a heater valve flapping in the centre console. I never did get it fixed

The C3 has various solenoids and valves for the heater air recirculation and direction. It could be something like that. It may be worth getting closer to the potential source until you are right on top of it. That would make it easier to identify the cause.

The plastics around the steering column are quite easy to remove.
