Air Con

Hello
Has anyone noticed that the air-con makes a strange noise... a gas rushing noise, that gets louder and then stops?...and then a couple of minutes later, it starts again? or once again is it just MY car?

There's been discussions on similar (maybe the same) noises elsewhere in faults and fixes. Doesn't sound like it's working perfectly to me?

Hi UKminiowner

What age is youre car and as it ever had the air con de-gassed and re-gassed?
The air con gas does require replenishing after some time of maybe not been used or it may have a leak..(normally in the condensor,due to stones hitting it)it sounds to me like it is low on gas...this type of noise is not uncommon if the system is low on gas.

Noise Noise Noise

I got the same problem too... the air con sounds like it is leaking air or something... but it comes on and off... so it is really annoying... and I only have the car for about one month... I am going to bring it back to the dealer this wednesday and have it check out...

Also, I notice this tlicking noise / body noise... it is really annoying... it happens once in a while... and it is driving me insane!!! Does anyone know what is this noise?

One final noise is my belt squeek every morning... i am sure the alernator belt wasn't tension properly... so I am going to have the deal fix that also...

Hopefully, the deal will be able to get ride of all these noises as it is driving me crazy!!! ahhahahahahaha.....
