Mikeyeo Clutched July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 The hissing sound from the air-con is possibly due to the air-con filter dirty thus affecting the free air flow. It is located behind the front passenger gloove box. I have the same problem recently and as I know about all these, I took out the gloove box and unscrew the 2 screws on the cover that hide the air filter. I bought one with charcoal (the latter is to eliminate smell) and re-install back. It's a simple job that takes 10 minutes After that, the hissing sound disappears and I could feel stronger cold air coming out from the vent. If you can do it, you save on the labour charge. But if you don't know and want an auto air-con to do it, you just need to go to any air-con auto shop nearest to your home or office. Regards.

Thanks for your advice. I changed my aircon filter during the last servicing which was 5k ago. I may get my mechanic to check on it again though it is quite unlikely. As I changed my aircon filter regularly, my previous filter was used until 12k mileage without any hissing sound. The current one used until 5k only. But this morning the noise is not there anymore. So might pop by CnC or Mark Cool soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll change an aircon filter at 20k anyway Am at 16+k km now.. thinking of what EO to use for 20k.. either double ester like KIC or just some normal touring EO like Autobac's idemitsu at 60+ with oil filter incl.

I have used both the normal type and charcoal type before. Nothing significant in my opinion. Idemitsu is quite ordinary from one of my last oil changes. Try Amsoil.
