Airco complaints

Jul 26, 2008 1 Replies

Airco on a '99 Impreza Wagon switches on and off every few miles ( noticable from engine load and slight noise increase/decrease ), while NOT maintaining pleasant temperature inside) is this normal operation? While running idle the AC system produces a very loud humming noise. Something vibrating near the fan housing. This can't be good, but happens only with higher outside temps (+75 F..)



The dealer tries to put me off, but I lack AC knowledge to improve his diagnostic.



Anyone any thoughts?



Thanks, Gerard.



I think I would just start asking trusted neighbors, friends, church-goers, co workers,etc. about area mechanics good with A/C. That system is not so different in a Subaru that a competent mechanic can't work on it.
