wadi16 1 Posted June 27 Hi everyone! New Aygo owner here! I've never had a car with AC before so not sure if noise is normal! I dont notice it much when driving but when idle or in traffic its louder. You periodically hear the compressor on and off. Its louder when you stand next to it outside. Is this normal? Its a totally new car (400 miles done) but first time using AC! Any help would be great as this is making me super anxious! 20200627_132730.mp4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Crimson 102 Posted June 27 Yeah totally normal, all cars do that when using the ac. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mooly 139 Posted June 27 That sounds like the fan cutting in (when the compressor is engaged) rather than the actual noise of the compressor but it is going to be normal. The behaviour is different on different cars and models and when driving along the fan may not even be needed as there will be sufficient flow over the condenser. Nothing to worry about, it is doing what it should and it will automatically do what is needed to ensure correct operating conditions. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie G 99 Posted June 28 You can definitely hear it more in an Aygo for some reason? possibly lack of sound insulation? but works fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz201 84 Posted June 28 yeah that's normal, they make a lot of noise with the AC. I just turn the radio volume up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
