Bros,

the chirpping noise from my a/c is really getting on my nerves! Reckon it's a worn out bearing.

1) Can the bearing be replaced or do i need to replace the entire fan coil unit?

2) Where's a gd plc to get it done?

3) What's the approx. $ damage?

Thanks!

Hi pal,

I have the same problem 3 years ago. Gone back to PML 'cos car still under warranty, totally cost was about S$450+, absorbed by PML. Labour cost was the killing one, cos they needed to remove the whole dashboard in order to change fan coil assembly.

This sound return about a years later. At the time, too busy to send for replacement, after about a month of running, the sound disappeared till now. The worn bearing probably worn-further and resonance disappeared.

Hope this help.

does it sound like a intermittent whistling sound?

sound goes off when a/c is off, likely it's some part of the a/c fan coil that's driving me nuts!
it was intermittent until recently it became more consistent
it sound somewhat like a cricket or a bird chripping
gets louder during sharp turns!
