Hi,My car is abt 4yrs now and in these last few mths can hear humming noise from the a/c compressor....went TCM to check and they say a/c compressor need to change...Was Quoted S$1358 to change compressor, pulley, belt, bracket..... So for those cars still under warranty, be sure to feedback to TCM if u hear any humming noise from a/c compressor
have you tired outside workshop?usually they can do it at a cheaper price but same products.
aft wash car just nw, start engine on air con and outside drinking water, think my air con compressor running rather loud too. duno is it normal sound. pat, wed help me hear hear.
Just to add.. My aircon still function as normal when my compressor spoil. It's still cold so I never suspect the aircon compressor at 1st. One way to check is open your bonnet and hear. The sound is coming from the alternator side area.
Bro, sorry to hear that your a/c compressor has down. After knowing the quoted price so ex from TCM, feel very scarely. Just wonder how is the humming sound like? Can the humming sound be heard in the cabin? Or how do you tell the a/c compressor is failing? For my ride, I do hear many sounds everyday, especially after a long drive. Sometime eee eee eee sound, sometime other sounds.... Don't know it normal or not? Can advise me?
Can describe Where is the alternator area? I not very good at all this. For me i hear a 'buzzing' sound while i'm standing outside at the bonnet area (bonnet still closed), dunno whether is coming from aircon compressor. I got another Latio to park side by side and i dun hear any of such sound...
Better to have it check by TCM before warranty end..preferable during the last few month b4 3 years. I had my check and TCM change my entire air con system FOC...cooling coil, a/c compressor... etc...
the alternator is just beside the engine oil dipstick...and the aircon compressor is below the alternator...usually way of checking is to use a long metal rod and press it on either the alternator or compressor to hear where the noise come from.....
Thanks for the tips. Just wondering if anyone here with the humming sound is kind enuff to meetup so that we can hear it. Cos i dunno if my buzzing sound = humming sound... but i dun hear anything from inside the cabin yet... or maybe it is soft that i didnt notice it?
i am available from 2230hrs on weekdays at Punggol....since I have not changed it yet...can actually use my car for comparison....PM me if you wanna come...
