I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and have noticed that whenever I turn on the AC, there is a strange clicking noise coming from the engine. It only happens when the AC is turned on, but it's quite loud and worrisome. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyHi Samantha, the strange clicking noise you're hearing is most likely caused by a faulty AC compressor clutch. This is a common issue with Kia ProCeed models. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.
It could also be a problem with the AC belt or tensioner. Both of these can cause strange noises when they start to wear down. Make sure to have these components checked as well when you take your car in for inspection.
