Odd noises from the air con?

gav · 11-04-2005, 13:09

I've started to hear some odd noises that I think are coming from the air con and sounds kinda fluidic (can't put an exact description to it). It only really seems to happen when I start the car up.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Yep, sounds like you need the air con re charging.

Or it could be air in the heater matrix.

I hear these noises when I switch off the engine after a journey... always thought these were normal and related to the aircon 'shutting down'?

Yeah, me too. Sort of a gurgling watery sound. Hope everything is ok, my car has done <2000 miles!

I can't say I've noticed after turning the engine off....may be I just get out of the car too fast
