Whats up with that! Everytime I turn the heater/air con/demistifier on, I get a hissing sound like the gas is leaking.

Talked to the mr and he said to turn it off lol, so could it need re gassing!

Cheers

Blue cars do that.

Especially from where that noise is coming from too.

bugger, i thought it was just the red ones

Yea, I know the exact car you're talking about. When you have time, turn on the air con & walk around to each tyre. The flatter one will be the one making the noise.

Is it a Shelby Cobra or a Dodge Viper or is just an old Rattler!

english_rose, Oct 5, 10:27pm
oh haha. Its an ORANGE car!

Please help me lol cos the Mr is soooo not helpful at the mo lol.

crzyhrse, Oct 5, 10:37pm
Oh, an orange one. Forget it. The parts are just way to expensive.

IF you can obtain them

crzyhrse, Oct 5, 10:43pm
Amen to that. The red car bits don't fit despite assurances from the dealers.

Your Surf is now orange!

Is this happening with any fan speed!

english_rose, Its the air coming out of the ball when jonno is trying to kick a penalty, just get your other half to change the ball, he won't get fined or anything like that.
All will be ok once he has done that, oh and he might just want to put his head on your chest (o:

u probly have a leak take it to a air con place they will run a dye through it to find the hole

mugenb20b, Oct 6, 3:33am
If there was a leak to the extent where you could hear it, then all of the gas would've escaped within a couple of minutes, whether the a/c is on or off.

english_rose, Oct 6, 5:23pm
hey ya. Thanks. Yeah its any fan speed. When the heater is on or the air con is on or the demistifier is on lol. As you know, the mr isnt helpful at the best of times

crzyhrse, Oct 6, 5:48pm
Coming up 21 hours and not looking promising.

crzyhrse, Oct 6, 5:49pm
Exactly. Then the compressor simply doesn't operate as the pressure switch open circuits the clutch.

crzyhrse, Oct 6, 5:50pm
Demistifier! Does that translate women-speak into clear English!

mugenb20b, Oct 6, 6:18pm
It could just be a heater fan bearing. You could always bring it to Hunterville, and I'll check it out to be sure.
