i believe it is a whooping sort of noise you hear if the a/c needs looking at .im sure someone will give you more detailsof what to look for soon ..
i never had any noise when i had mine done i just had it done so i could keep a record of when it will need attention again ..there are mobile firms that come to you for about £60 to £80 ,had mine done by the guys that service the school buses ,they did mine for £25

Hi, are you having any problems with your a/c?

mcspider · 9th October 2010, 19:49

Hi, providing its cold enough and the fan runs I would think its probably ok. The a/c does throw out a lot of moisture. One thing I would check to be sure is it isn't a partially blocked plenum drain slowly draining away.
