Hello all,
I have a question about the Clio's aircon.
When you turn it on, apart from the normal 'click' noise from the compressor, I can hear, for a few seconds, a sort of 'rattling' noise, like the sort a clutch bearing makes (which I believe to be the compressor clutch). My mate's Twingo makes the same noise - its best heard with the windows up from inside the cabin. Sometimes the noise is very unnoticeable, sometimes its louder.
Also, with the aircon on, there's a sort of 'whooshhhhhh' noise from behind the dashboard - I'm not talking about the cabin fan. Increasing the engine's rpm increases the 'whoosh' noise.
Now my old Megane used to make noises with the aircon on, but I remember it was extremely quiet when brand new...
Are these noises normal? The cooling performance is fine.
After that, it all sounds normal...
