Ask the Car Guy @socky May 2
What is your car trouble?
I want to give back to Steemit community and provide some help on something that I know very well. Cars and how to fix them.
Please ask me about your car issue. Won't go into gear. Strange sounds. Don't know if you should take your car in to the shop. Just ask.
Send me the make, model, and year along with car symptoms.
Please remember to VOTE and ReSteem

So many people experience this problem in my country with their car and my big mummy is experiencing it too I hope I Help her get a solution from you
Anytime she puts on the car Air Condition, there’s this great noise and enernous vibrations coming from the bonnet of the car . What could possibly be done to fix that
All air conditioning units will make some noise. That is normal. If you have significant noise and the car is vibrating, there could be some serious problem that could lead to costly air conditioning damage. An air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine by a pulley and belt. It can take 10 to 15 hp to pull the AC compressor. This will put a drag on the engine. The engine has some form of idle control to increase throttle while the AC compressor is running. If that malfunctions, the engine could be idling too low which would cause vibrations only at idle. Otherwise, the compressor could be bad, there could be too low of coolant charge, some part of the air conditioning system could be clogged, or the air handling blower motor could be bad.
Bottom line, there is no easy fix. Take it to an air conditioning repair mechanic.
Wow... I need to inform her and show her this explanation. We assumed it was the fan that was lose that was our assumption. I need to let her know so it could be fixed before it cause further problems. Thanks so much my friend. You’ve been helpful a lot . You’re much appreciated
It is quite noble of you to want to give back to the community. And yes i do have a car, but the problem is that it's just old and so almost all the parts need replacement. However, i recently changed the car engine because of a knocking sound that was irritating me. The problem is that even the new engine i put have started an imperceptible sound that is beginning to irritate me. By the ways it's Camry 1998 model.
You can try one of these. it is an automotive stethoscope. You touch the probe onto different parts of the running engine and listen for the noise to locate the source of the noise.
They work for tapping or grinding noises. They are pretty much worthless for high pitch noises though. If you have a high pitch squeak or whistle, they can be really difficult to pinpoint.
What a good gesture friend @socky. I applaud your idea and will take it into account. Greetings.
Giving back to steemit is a great news. Actually I don't have any questions because I don't have a car yet, but I'm planning on getting one. So when the time comes, I will have lots of questions. I appreciate your efforts.
Thanks, I will be here.
