Air con noise
« on: 16 September 2023, 12:33 »
Started getting a strange sound from the air con.It sounds related to engine speed it sounds like humming
noise ,it seems to get louder the quicker you go.Turn air con off and the noise goes.
The car is a 2019 gti only done 18000 miles ,I have not had it regassed.
Noise would appear to be inside the car.

I know with the mk6 cars if it starts making a noise like that if you don't regas it and keep using it, it then ends up killing the aircon pump and you have to replace it. Seen this loads now.. Not sure if its the same stupid design on the mk7s though but I wouldn't risk using it until its regarded if it was mine.

Had the same issue in my old polo, regassing didn't fix it. You might get lucky though
