I was hearing a buzzing sound on the passenger side of my car when I had the air on too. I thought something was wronge with the fan or something. I just now pulled out the filter and there wus a bunch of twigs an ****. I just wiped the filter clean and put it back. I will replace it with the DIY filter later but I can already tell that I'm getting better air flow and the buzzing noise is gone.

 

Someone died in your car?! crazy

 

i always thought that noise was an automatic antenna bc it sounds just like our other cars but then i remember it doesnt have one...

has anyone noticed that other noise the ac makes when youv had it running for awile? its a little psshhhh sound that goes slow and lasts about 3 secconds, very faint, but it makes me car sound like a spacechip

 

That's the gas going back through the cooling core. When the A/C is on for awhile, it has to shut off from time to time to defrost, just like your home refrigerator.

 

Is not. It's the sound of the Tie-fighters taking off through the Star Wars door.

 

Oh yeah, duh. And that sucking sound at 3400rpm is just my tractor beam.

 

I baught my car used aqnd it was clean and all but I gave it a !00% detail work over and found blood spatters all around in little crevices and under flaps , then I could tell that my passenger seat had been removed as some of the plastic side molding was loose and had more spaters under it!!!!!!! The inside edges of the glove box had blood to then I noticed a dark stain on the back seat! Looked like a big mess was made and cleaned up!!! I used powerfull detergents to clean it again!

OMG! That's the creepiest thing I've ever heard of in a car!!!

Damn, sounds like you need Forensic Files up in your ride.

 

The ES does not have this air filter like the RAs I can see or find mine!!! I see the star wars door but no two screws or air filter!?!?!

 

Thats frickin crazy dood. You need to carfax that thing or something.

 

No, but there should be a plastic cover in the same place that you can cut out to put the filter in.

 

I called theh dealer and they said the air filter is an option on the ES and OZ!!! He said I could get it for the low price of $60,,,,, ha I said nope! I stuck some filter medium in there myself that sould work fine hahaha

 

I did the DIY dust and pollin filter today. It works great. I found a furnis filter at Home Depo
that doesn't have the wire mesh. I just cut the filter to fit, removed the paper part of the old filter with the inner plastic supports and attached my cut out piece. I'm glad I read this thread. It saved me $50.
