Whistling Soung from Blower

mobike008 · 19th September 2007, 13:49

I noticed a peculiar thing from past two days. When i switch on the ac, i normally run the blower for a few mins to let the hot air out and then switch the ac on.

When the blower is on, its making a strange whistling sound. Its quite evident in 3rd and 4th stops but little more faint in 2nd and no sound if its running on 1st speed.

What could be the problem?

Look for any dust accumulation.

look for a dry leaf which must have got inside from the fresh air intake openings beneath the windscreen.

Bang, this could be it. Because i see a lot of dry leaves under my wiper and upper bonnet, some must have seeped in. Will check it out this evening. Thanks for the lead

Funnily, yes there was some leaves and dust particles stuck under the wiper and below the top end of the bonnet ( under the hood). When i removed it, now the sound seems to have disappeared

Now i am stuck with another problem. Its raining heavily here and i notice that my car kind of stalls for a few secs in second gear and then lurches ahead. It just happens when i take the car out from a cold stop. After a few kms this situation doesnt reappear

Thats right, i got a viva crdi. So could be the problem. It happens now in first and second as well. When i slot the gear and press the accelarator, nothing happens and when i slightly release the accelarator the car moves forward. I am going to get it checked on Wed/Thurs

dude the viva comes with a a/c airfilter so do check it out and clean it for such sounds to disappear and faster blower speeds!
