Upon switching on the compressor, the airconditioning system starts to make noise (specially in lower gears). The noise disappears on switching off the compressor.whts this sound? whts the remedy?
what type of sound it is.....
only if i could attach a .wav file to let u guys hear tht
welll... its a squeaking sound... i think it has got sumthing to do with the A/C belt... but not sure abt it... and how to remove it
check if the belt is too much tight....
usually comes in old cars
it might be loose or have cracks on belt ....
nop... its not cracked... just put in a new one...
more confusion... one of u is saying it might be loose, the other is saying is it too tight???
yes its a 12 year old car
Might be the compressor clutch bearing then. Remove the belt and try moving the compressor clutch by hand. If you feel any roughness or play in the movement, replace the bearing.
BTW what car are we talking about here?
