Sound in the Car

Recently there has been a little pinging sound in the car and I have traced it to the air-con, turn it on to 1 and the sound comes on, turn to 2 it goes away, turn off no sound as well. I don't think it was the gas or a leak in the air-con pipes not likely as that would have other effects like the coolness of the air. So on saturday decided to visit the car air-con shop near my place (place where I got my tires as well). The mechanics did a check on the system and found that the fan unit has worn out and needs a replacement. Total cost $150 to replace the unit and a 2 hr stay at the shop. Well looks like the car is telling me it's time for it to retire and for me to get a new one :)

ya... time for a change. The 2008 Accord looks good, but need to wait for their promo price cos they r clearing stk for the 2007 model. Anyway, probably u wud hf had the air-con fix just by spending $15 on a 3M filter, cut it out to size and DIY change ur own by removing the gloove compartment in front of the passenger seat.

not the filter as the blade of the unit was worn out and breaking anyways it seems there was no filter as the guy asked me if want to add a filter but told him car going to change so he said then no point.
