Air Conditioning

My wife has an X1 20D. We love the car however does anybody else find the Aircon noisy. Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Anyone

There are three possible noises from "aircon":
-compressor
-blower/fan
-outlets

???

No ours isn’t noisy

Do you run it on auto and if so what fan speed are you running. We generally run it on 2 or 3 and then adjust for extreme conditions

The only slight noise I find is when my wife closes one of the front vents on her side, it means more air is forced through the ones on my side and causes a slight hiss. Sometimes i feel that the aircon fan could do with a setting lower than the current lowest one if you see what I mean, but generally I find the system to be fairly quiet and quite effective.

Many thanks for your replies. I have now vastly improved noise level ie blower fan noise in warm conditions. It helps to read the instructions! I didn't realise the indicator above the fan switch was in fact an intensity indication not a fan speed indicator.

Glad you got sorted. Tend to leave mine on 2 bars& let auto sort it all out. Never been noisy in that configuration
