common prob - if its the same noise i'm thinking of, its the mechanism moving that opens/switches the vents.

you might notice sometimes your A/C will switch to blow only

on your feet when you hear this noise. not everytime tho.

i can sometimes stop mine from making this noise by cranking up

the fan speed to max and then down again. also changing from

FACE to FEET and back to FACE stops its

give this a try

Yeah, lots of us have had this problem, I know what bit it is, but it costs alot to fix. I know how to get rid of the noise without fixing it, but after I did that my compressor seized, I don't know if the two are related.

See'ya:bunrout:

I just had mine fixed. $20 for the part and $65 for an hours labour (didn't have to pay it though 'cause the dealer agreed to get it fixed when I bought the car). It's just a little cog inside a little black box. I had to get the new box 'cause no where had the cog. $20 bucks for the box or $5 for the cog if ya can find it.

Just go to an airconditioning place!

yep, i had that problem the other day. it was bit hot for a couple of days here in perth so i was giving my A/C a hammering. (usually a non-a/c person)

anyways i started it up in the morning, after leaving over nite, obviuosly durrr... when the car jumped to life there was this weird noise. i had a listen for a bit, and it seemd to go a way as the car warmed up.

Could have been acat... hehehehe

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
