I have an '06 with 105K miles that I bought new. It's in excellent shape and these days, I only drive it during MI winters as I have a "summer" car as well.
This year, as the weather is turning, I started driving it and there's an intermittent hiss/vacuum leak sound coming from the dash. It sounds like it's on the passenger side but, hard to pinpoint. The sound only exists when the compressor is running which, of course, happens when the defrosters are on, etc. I run the climate control on auto 100% of the time.
I've tried to listen for the noise from under the hood but, the engine sound overwhelms it. It's definitely something leaking in the interior. The A/C worked great this summer and everything seems fine functionally. I would just like to stop the hissing noise from happening while driving.
Any thoughts out there? Any help is appreciated.
This vehicle goes down as one of the best I've ever owned. Other than a couple of minor rust issues that were repaired by Acura, it's been 10+ years of maintenance only driving. Nothing has ever failed.....so far.
