What causes the humming noise when the air conditioning is turned up in a BMW F18?
1 Answers
The reasons for the humming noise when the air conditioning is turned up in a BMW F18 are as follows: Faulty temperature regulator: When the car is in normal idle state, the humming noise may be caused by the operation of the electric fan used for radiator cooling. However, this noise is intermittent. If the humming noise persists, it may be due to a faulty temperature sensor or temperature regulator. The owner should promptly inspect it to avoid abnormalities during driving, which could lead to more severe car malfunctions and financial losses. Excessive gap between piston and cylinder wall: The humming noise at low speed or during gear changes is generally caused by an excessive gap between the piston and cylinder wall. This can occur if the assembly is too tight during installation or due to abnormal wear. Another possible cause is engine knocking. In the early stages of engine knocking, a humming noise may be heard, which could be caused by advanced ignition timing or excessive carbon deposits in the cylinders leading to knocking.
