i was waiting at the gas station today when i heard the whooooop from the left side of my car aswell...

first time ive heard it.

I have heard this noise several times but every time i take it into honda they cant replicate it, told me to find out how to show them it occurs then they will fix it. So apart from having the air con turned on is there any way i can cause this sound to occur? so i can show them and have it fixed..

and apart from the noise does this problem cause anything else or is it just a noise and therefore not much of a big deal?

It happens to me more when air con on and stopped/stopping/driving real slow/just taken off. Basically anything 0-15km/hr. Usually when totally stopped though (at traffic lights mostly). As we go into winter I prolly got bugger all chance of getting it fixed since it's mainly a summer issue.

Has anyone had it occur with the heater on instead? Does the tx valve get used then or only cooling?

this happened in the car today whilst stopped at the lights. i remember reading this thread thankfully and did not freak out. It just happened once. If it keeps happening i will take it to Honda.

Air cond's thermal expansion valve. Expensive to repair. If you have warranty, use it!

I had it happen to me today when set on Auto 26'c around 10pm, while heating, so short answer "yes" but its a first for me.

Going to get it fixed when it gets worse. Happens every so often about twice a month, for me.

[Crapdaz]

is it a distinct sounds?
as i havent heard anything of that sort.

but then i rarely use A/C/Heating when i drive. Only sometimes when it gets frosty.

Should try asking Honda to replace/repair the thing even though it's not making the Woop sound... say its a common problem with the Euro's and i don't want it happening after my warranty has finish seeing it would be expensive to replace/repair

doesn't hurt to ask
