Hello everyone.
I saw a few posts about A/C system noise here and decided to write a topic with all the information I have collected until now. Some of you guys here have a mechanical background and maybe could help me and other guys here. Hope other people that suffering from the same problem can throw the information about this info to this topic so we will maybe have some database to find a solution.
The background: my car is a honda civic hatchback 2018 manual transmission. bought it just this July and even in the first drive home from the dealer I already noticed some strange whining sound (the first drive was without music so every small noise was noticeable).
The first dealer visit: after 1000 KM I went to the dealer. We found that the noise appears on 2100 +- and 2750+- revs every time. It is not connected in any way to the throttle pedal. after a few minutes, my dealer decided to replace the compressor since he "heard the noise coming from it. We replaced the compressor but, nothing changed.
The second dealer visit: after coming back to the dealer on the next day we tried to replace the A/C compressor pulley, then another one and nothing really changed. Same revs, same noise, same problem.
Trying other cars: after so many parts my dealer started to run out of ideas and we just tried another car in the service. It was the same hatchback from 2016 but with the CVT transmission. Surprisingly (or not) we heard the same noise exactly on the same revs.
Contacting Honda outside my country: I tried to find some solution before contacting the main office in my country and got this piece of info from Honda agent:
"...It sounds like the 2SV noisy A/C issue to me but this is under investigation so we would not advise anything from here until that has finished..."
Now when I know this is not only my car I feel a little awkward. On one hand, it supposed to be "normal" on another hand this noise sometimes drives me so crazy that I start to find any radio station just to cover this whistle noise while driving. My next step is just to wait for another answer from abroad and maybe get some compensation from my local Honda company.
Maybe some of you guys can transform this information to some advice, or just can explain what is 2SV noise. If not, thanks for reading and sorry for my English, I don't live in an English speaking country .
