What Causes a Sudden Increase in Car Air Conditioning Noise?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning noise suddenly increases due to the following reasons: 1. The amount of refrigerant added exceeds the standard level, increasing the compressor's load. You can check the air conditioning's inspection window—if liquid flows through the window when the AC is on and there are a few bubbles, the refrigerant level is normal. If there are no bubbles or very few, it indicates an excessive amount. 2. Verify whether the added refrigerant matches the original type. If not, issues may arise. Currently, R134a is commonly used. 3. Check if the compressor belt tension is normal. If it's too loose, it needs tightening—being too tight is unlikely. 4. The compressor might be faulty and require replacement.
