I have a whistle when I turn mine on as well but no cooling problems.

 

Yeah I don't that noise is relevant to the issue. My buddy's dad is gonna diagnose the problem for me, he can probably do it with his eyes closed in three seconds. Hopefully its not the compressor. Probably just a leak somewhere.

 

+1 on the compressor. Mine started out the same way on my Civic. Would blow cold then hot, for about 2 weeks, then it locked up going down the interestate and smoked the belts. If it goes it takes out the condensor, dryer, and expansion valve. Cost me over 1k to get it fixed, but goodyear robbed the the hell out of me.

 

if it chirps when it kicks on you probably need to just tighten up the belt just a bit. Mine is doing it now

 

^ It definitely sounds like the belt. Thanks for the advice!

 

yeah mine did the same thing while at a stop it would blow cold air one second then start blowing warm air. I found out my compressor was dead and a couple people have told me that subaru ac compressor's suck a**. Thats why I just removed the entire damn thing...sweaty summers woo!!

 

I have a 02 wrx and mine makes the whistle noise too. when i turn on the ac.and when my belt turns .the wheel on the compessor sometimes stop.And i went to a shop and thay told me that i had a bad compressor.

 

Lovely. Sounds like I'm going to be in need of a compressor!

 

Mine does the same thing and it's done it for a very long time. It get warm for just a second so it's not long enough to irritate me but I do notice it.

Also, my SRT4 did it but it got to be 80 degrees inside the car. Basically it was cooler outside than inside. They couldn't fix it (and even tried to tell me it was normal...LOLOLOL) and I ended up getting it lemoned out after a year long fight. Fuckers.

 

lol damn. It should be a law to have a/c before selling a car in FL. Way too hot.
