air conditonor

when i set idle at a light my air conditonor will make a loud clicking sound wondering if thats normal ive never had a car that did it unless the compersor was going out
sleepy:devil:

Yeah that happens to me too. When I sit idle and puch my ac button, I'll here a click, I never really thought anything of it. It should be okay. I wouldn't worry about it. I have a 99 G20 by the way.

yep, mine does it too P11 '01, so does my other cars. should be ok. :D

Mines the same to.

sweet thanks for the help mine just started doing it just wanted to check thanks for the feedback

It's one of two things things: you either have a junky car or ther's something in the air conditonor. If I where you I would take it to a car repair place because I'm not a mechanic!

no your the repar man:finger: :devil:

It's normal to hear that click when the compressor clutch engages and disengages.

1PNYBOY,
I own a '99 g20. When the climate control is at 85 it blows out hot air. But then when I lower it to 84 it starts blowing cool air. Do you know why?

Graph,
You probably have a bad temperature sensor, the one located in the evaporator area. Had the same problem with several I30's. It's under warranty, take it in.

Its got 60k on it now. Is it still under warranty?

Man!!!! You have 60k on a '99? Well it's out of warranty for that, unless you got it in good with the service advisor at your local dealer. I'll usually lower the miles a little for my good customer's, that way I can cover it under warranty. Contrary to what people believe, we get paid very well for doing things under warranty. Either way I don't think the part is very expensive. If you like I'll get the part # and the price for you. Just let me know.

When I startup my Air con I get a short hiss sound, but it can only be heard if you have the windows down- as I tend not to have the windows with the AC on the AC is inaudable. Mine is a European G20 (Primera GT)

That sux! I've had this problem since 24k miles. I was just too damn lazy to go get it checked out. Oh well, how much is the part and is it fairly easy to replace? Thanks

You can lower the miles? PLEASE TELL ME HOW.

Part #27723-2J500 and it's about $12.00. The bad news is you gotta remove the evaporator to change it. When I said lower the miles, I meant when I receive a car with over 60k if it had less than 60k on it's last visit, I just add a few hundred miles and make sure it stays below 60k.
