AC Compressor Noise
Is anyone facing a squeaking noise while AC is turned on? I was troubled by this noise.
I did multiple visits to the service centre but the sound was not regular. Sometimes it was there and sometimes it was not. The service centre guys told me that they cannot do anything if the noise is not persistent.
But at last I got lucky, and I was able to show that there was some noise. This noise was primarily happening during gear shifts in AGS, especially at higher RPMs and when the gear was shifting from first to second.
Upon closer inspection, the service center noticed that it was coming from the magnetic clutch of the AC compressor. While idealing at higher RPMs, the clutch disengages and then engages again, causing the noise. This noise was not there at first.
The service guys recorded a video and sent it to Subros who manufactures these compressors.
Now they are telling that this is just operational noise and nothing to worry about. But this noise was not there earlier. My Baleno is just 2.5 years old.
Anyone has any solution?
