What Causes the Loud Noise in BMW 5 Series Air Conditioning?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for the loud noise in the BMW 5 Series air conditioning: 1. Refrigeration factors: The noise occurs immediately upon starting the air conditioning, which is clearly related to the refrigeration components. These mainly include the compressor, expansion valve, condenser, evaporator, and pipelines. Common causes include: worn compressor bearings; dirty air conditioning pipelines or condenser; defects in the evaporator's mechanical supercharger suction pipe. 2. Blower failure: The blower's label has fallen off into the air duct; worn blower bearings; a buzzing sound occurs when accelerating at low speeds with the air conditioning on. At low speeds, it indicates that the engine has weak power at this time, and turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load. Accelerating further demands higher power from the engine, resulting in a buzzing sound, which is mostly due to issues with the engine belt or tensioner pulley. After ruling out problems with air conditioning components such as the compressor, evaporator, blower, etc., it is advisable to directly check if the belt is aging.
