996 air con

[villageidiot]

Does anyone know the cure for noisy air con when it is on the chiller mode and the cost involved ? This is a fault on a second hand car I am looking at.(1999 model)

Looks like no one talks to the villageidiot.

Is it the fan that's making the noise ?
When my AC is on the lowest temp', on a hot day, the fan goes at full speed and is quite loud.

My 996 did the same, like a grinding noise hat would get worse, iirc its was diagnosed as bearings. but it only presented after a medium drive, and I was never in the car for long periods.. so I didnt bother, aircon worked fine.

Sorry I cant be much help, other than to say it still works.

Thanks for the replies but the car has now been sold so the hunt goes on! It seems to be very difficult to buy a good spec 996 that's manual,a coupe and not silver.
