Question Whining noise from air-con

As well as a small rattle from our air-con (which I assume is a fan blade catching something and will get fixed at some point), there is a distinct whine when the air conditioning is turned on. Is this something I should be worried about?

You could have a leaf or some other obstruction.

Mine is quiet as a mouse

Re: Whining noise from air-con

Clean out/replace the cabin airfilter and see if that doesn't sort it.

Do a search on "pollen filter" on here as well.

Re: Whining noise from air-con

Surely the car is still within warranty? Let the dealer worry about it.

Re: Whining noise from air-con

The rattle is something I will let the dealer sort out, as it's under warranty. What I wanted to know was if the whining noise is normal, or something else that needs checking out

Re: Whining noise from air-con

Sometimes i get that whining noise.
It appears to come from the N/S or rear,
Its too cold!
Its too hot !
Do you have to drive so fast?
What time do you call this?
I thought we were going shopping!
You never tell me you love me anymore!
Ive got a headache!
How much did that cost ?
Do you really need one of those?
