Ringing/ cricket sound
There is a ringing/ cricket sound coming from the belt.
It is louder when the air-con is switched on, when it is off, the sound will be much softer.
It can't be heard when i am inside the vehicle, only when i am outside/ next to the vehicle.
What is the cause? Air-con compressor kaput?
-
most likely the compressor clutch.
-
Will it cause any problem if I do not get it change immediately?
-
i wouldn't think so but its possible for it sieze up. if it doesn't get worse i wouldn't worry too much
-
So if it doesnt get any louder, I can still hold it for another month or 2 before I bring it to the garage?
-
i would, but its up to you
-
Ok. Thanks.
I am just afraid that it would cause some problems if I hold it for a month or 2.
-
if you dont use the ac it should be ok. worst that will happen is you will throw the belt, and still need the compressor.
-
Oh... given the weather here... I will need the air-con each time I get into the car.
-
well using the ac just increases chances of failure.. if that is in fact what it is.
