Hawkeye STi is this normal???
 

Hello, I have a 2007 Hawkeye STi 2.5uk with very low mileage as car is just used at weekends. I took the car for a service last week, and was told by the mechanic that the cooling fan has seized, and as they had no part in to fit at the time I was advised to drive with the air con on until I get the part replaced next week, Anyway Yesterday I noticed that what I assume is the AC pulley/belt stopping and starting, acting strange. Here's an example of what it acts like from YouTube (not my car in video just an example). And. Mine acts just like this,stoping and starting a lot is this normal? Do you have any idea what it could be? I'd be grateful if anyone can help Cheers Mark

There meant to cut in and out. perfectly normal

It has a magnetic clutch so that the compressor stops if the pressure reaches the cutout pressure.............................

So is there nothing to worry about then? I always thought it stayed on I know it does on other cars.

Nothing to worry about :thumb:

Thanks for your help guys.

Nothing to worry about at all. theres not a car i know off or a system that stays on all the time on any car

I work with refridgerated vans with freezers at -10/11 ish. There compressors even cut in and out
