Clicking Aircon & Stonechips

[armoredfist2002]

When the aircon is on in my car I get a really loud clicking from under the bonnet,

kerby said it was the aircon, how loud is it usually as this is pretty loud,

and none of mu mums previous 3 toyotas have done this

It has just been regassed, could this cause it.

Also what is the best to use to cover up stonechips on the bonnet, I think it may be cheaper to respray the front bumper as these are quite bad, but there are only a few on the bonnet

thanks

The magnetic clutch on my aircon is overly loud, you will get used to it after a while... its functioning as it should just making a lot of noise about it.

If you pop the bonnet, start the engine with aircon on and blip the throttle whilst looking down the left handside front of the engine, you will be able to see the clutch engaging and disengaging. If the noise happens at the same time as you can see it engage and disengage thats what it will be.

any idea where I can get my paint code from as there is no metal plate on the left hand side of the engine bay and I couldn't see one anywhere else.

Best bet ask someone on here with same? Erm..... who doesn't have your colour? :P

[armoredfist2002]

could be differences between the colours, most on here have ph1 mines ph2

[Woody27]

O right well i'm sure toyota could tell you? Maybe someone off here who works at a toyota garage as may be more useful?

there are 2 different colour codes for thunder grey. i only found this out a few weeks ago when i was talkin to clarky as he has a differnt code to me

[reece]

The Phase 2 Thunder Grey is 1D2.

Not sure about the phase 1.

[Kerby]

mine is 1d2 as well but i cant remember what clarkys is

[clarky]

Mines is the same ... but that doesnt mean that they all are. When I had my new front bumper and lip done the sprayshop had several TGs to choose from.
