marinabrid Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 hello allthought we was going to have a nice air con trouble free summer, then this morning turn it on, there is a odd noise from the inside i think, the lower left part of the dash near the glovebox, like a groaning wheezing noise, it goes off when you swtich the air con off. turned it on and off while under the bonnet and all was fine definatly from inside. could it be the dreaded evaporater and dashboard out job, there was no blast of air or gas as though it was a leak i thought it was th ecooloing fans in the engine but no. nor is it the blower fan in the car.the compressor clicks in and out but alas no cool air seems to come, was perfect two days ago !any input gratfully recieved, all the parts of th eair con are now 10 years old and apart from replacing the engine pipework and condensor last year all been well. end of the road ?

mikej Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 I wouldn't start ripping out the dash just yet as i experienced the same thing with my aircon, noises from the glovebox area like a hissing and i too thought the evaporator but it turned out my system wasn't working due to the compressor and once i fitted a new compressor and regassed it was fine ?? i am not saying this is the case with yours but a little more investigation may be needed .

marinabrid Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 ok thanks for that, the fact that i had no dump of gas made me wonder particularly as its on the origianl compressor and no cool air came out. whats my next step how do you know if the comp has failed Quote
marinabrid Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 indeed the groaning wheezing noise was in fact low gas in the air con system, man with van came today flushed it did what he does and .we now again have a quiet cool working for now system. Quote

As a matter of interest do you mind telling us how much you were charged - tempted to get a local man with a van air-con specialist service ours! Edited June 26, 2009 by Triple Trouble Quote
