AC compressor noise? This normal?
AC compressor noise? This normal?
Hey folks. I have an 08 Fit that had the AC go out last month. I took it to the dealer who said it was leaky shrader valves. Those were replaced and they recharged it. 6 weeks later it stopped working again. Low charge. I figure the leak was still there somewhere and I got out the black light. I found some green dye around the upper condenser connection. I took it to Honda who wanted another look at it. They recharged it and wanted $400 to get to and LOOK at the evaporator core. Since I had looked at it Sunday and didn't see a leak I said no and I'll replace that o-ring. I get it home and give it another look after running it. The dealer said the AC fan wasn't moving and that's true. I'll get the multimeter out this weekend to figure that one out. After running the AC and shutting it off, I hear a gurgle/hiss after a few seconds coming from the compressor. Anyone have this sound? I never really listen to the noises it makes until something went wrong. Here's a video.
Before watching the video I was going to say a gurgle or hiss is normal after running the a/c. After watching the video I'd say you've got some weird gurgle/hiss going on. Best thing I can suggest is to try to find where the noise is the loudest and that is probably where the problem is. Good luck!
