Default S type Air Blend door sound behind cluster

Hi!
I've read a lot of topics about this sound behind the cluster (LHD car), and they all suggest it's some liquid bubbling in the aircon system...
It starts after aprox 30 seconds after i remove key from ignition. i dont even use the AC for this to happen.
My defrost works.
I am uploading a video on YT in hopes someone recognizes it and can point me do the blend motor so i dont have to disassemble everything.
Thank you

I want to add that this thing is 100% mechanical sound. As i can gear the plastic rubbing. Also the sound has this grinding noise, intermittently. This is not liquid or gas related

The grinding noise was made buy that actuator or the blend door. I touched it when it was doing it.
my defrost had no issues but i hated the noise. I will post pictures on the original thread.
i even disassembled the motor and it looks good!
i will reassemble everything and try the reset procedure for blend doors

I disassembled the motor and cleaned the swipe from the main gear to the motherboard.
i posted in the original topic (link above)
i just wanted to confirm it works now without having to purchase a new motor.
i also reset the vents after the procedure was done
