High Pitch Ringing Sound From Aircon? Is200

[sensiblescott]

Hey all, I am a new owner of a 2004 is200 sports luxury and i have a few questions to ask about it..

first is when i turn the aircon on (auto,high or low) there is a high pitch ringing noise constantly whilst it is on? im wondering if this is a warning on low gas levels? or just a fault...either way its pretty annoying

can anyone help with this?

also i am missing the badge on one of my wheel caps, does anyone know a good place to find a new one of those or a new set, for a resonable price? aftermarket or not i dont mind.

and im also wondering about floor mats whether anyone knows where to find some cheaper aftermarket ones for the time being as im a bit poor after buying the car ;)

thanks guys!

In regards to the mats... make sure they have the clip holder on them and clip them in. They are renounded for causing sticky accelrator pedal as the pedal gets trapped under the mat... got caught myself once! not nice

Try ebay the the wheel cap

The ringing.. are you sure its not the belt? or it could be air con unit seizing up as it may have had little use. get it checked out by an air con specialist.. should not cost anything for someone to listen to it for you.
