While we're on the subject of NB's and A/C noises, is it normal to hear the pump physically running at idle and as the revs go up? I've heard there's a harmonic frequency that the pump picks up and causes it to be so loud normally.
Is that correct? -Bryan --- On Sun, 7/20/08, Larry Alster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Larry Alster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Strange noise when A/C kicks on To: "'Ray Ayala'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'Miata Power List'" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, July 20, 2008, 4:22 PM Well in SC you’ll never get the interior dried out in a convertible.

You would need to run the fan at higher speeds until that happens though. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Alster To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; 'Miata Power List' Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 5:13 AM Subject: RE: Strange noise when A/C kicks on Yea and even avoid recirculating if it’s extremely humid.

Don’t run the system on low fan settings on recycle air or you will freeze the coils The noise is probably just the expansion valve and I think it’s normal. Gauges on the system are the only way to check the system for low Freon with 134.

We have only heard it a few times so it is really hard to diagnose. You can let the car idle and listen to the A/C kick on and off. Every now and then (maybe 1 out of every 20 times) you can hear it go "whoooooop" when it kicks on. The noise sounds like a rubbing noise (think of a squeegee moving across dry glass) and seems to be coming from under the dash. I do not know if a door opens and closes when the A/C kicks on or not. Any ideas? Also, the A/C does not feel "ice cold". How can you tell if you need a charge on the new systems? -- Robert McElwee and Blue Flash "The 50 MPG Miata" www.lightweightmiata.com/mpg Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
