Hi Guys
I had trouble with my A/C on my GHIA were the compressor shat itself. The clutch disintergraded & wrecked the compressor. Any how a new compressor was fitted, regased & dye added. Now almost everytime the A/C is turned on, a loud bang or thud can be heard a couple of seconds of running & nothing after that. There are no leaks & plenty of gas... What can it be??? The A/C bloke can't even tell me!!!

No it's out of warranty but been doing it a while. Works fine blows cold except for the thump when turned on...

Is the thump coming from under the dash? Mine (S3 F/Ghia) has always clunked once after aircon turned on.
There is an answer to what it is in this forum somewhere but I can't remember, other than it's normal. |

Can't help you but doesn't sound good :(
Mine "clunks" once but definitely from under the dash. |

yeah make sure it's not your blend door. I remember before I did the reset/recalibrate on mine it would make an awful thunk when I first turned it on and I was sure that that the sound was coming from under the hood.

Mine isn't a hideous noise... more like a fridge door closing but if it can be reset I'll do it. |
