RE: Strange sound out of my V6

I noticed that in the first week so I took it down to my dealer, and they told me right away that it was the A/C (also when defroster is on), and that it is normal

I was also told it is normal. I'm pretty sure it is not, though. Like I said, the clutch should be engaged as long as there is adequated pressure in the return line.

ORIGINAL: Stckman

Got a v6 convertible abotu a week ago and im hearing a strange noise comeing from the engine... or at least i think its the enginge.. about every ten seconds or around there i was hearing what i thought was a click... but upon further inspection is more of a short hiss or a puff of air... a sort of "fsst" really quickly then about 8-12 seconds later i hear it again... "fsst" I thought it was maybe wheel associated but it does the same thing sitting still at the light... seems to be independent of acceleration also-- as in it doesnt get faster or slower when im on the gas.

any ideas? the dealer kept babbling abotu how i MUST keep the gas cap on correctly and im sure that ive done that so other than that im not sure what it could be? any of you hard toppers drive witht he window down and hear this?

i get a raddle from my right air vent with the a/c on.. so i took it into the dealer and got it replaced and its raddling again

RE: Strange sound out of my V6

Mine does the same thing, I took it to the dealership this past weekend and they said that it was the A/C and something to do with the freeon pressure. It clicks to turn off due to the pressure buildup, and then clicks again when it comes back on after pressure is decreased. So thats what they said.
