Somethings up with my AC.....
Maybe im just having a blonde moment or something, but recently ive realized that when im stopped at a light or whenever my car is at idle for more than 20 seconds or so, i hear a ratteling noise from the AC. ill turn the AC off, and the noise will stop, but if i turn it back on, itll start up again, my friend told me its the AC compressor?! idk im not that familiar with cars and all, but i was just woudnering if this is normal or not, because it wasnt making this sound like 2 months ago....so am i just over reacting or should i bring it in? thanks!!!!

Although I don't have weird sounds coming from my AC, but lately I've been noticing weird smells. My car has over 13,000 miles on it, so I don't think it's the "break in" smell. It's not umbearable and gross, just a weird scent. Any ideas?

I clean mine as Toyota recommends about once a year (beginning of summer, usually) and have no problems. I've done this for years on many cars.

Interesting; I had the same problem after a long trip. I usually recirculate the air in the car to avoid sucking in the traffic jam fumes out here that smell charred.
I think I'll try and spray mine because when I turned on my AC, it smelled "weird" over the last week or two, but improved over time. It's still not "fresh" like it used to be, but it looks like we can fix that.
I just need to find the evaporator fins to spray down and check for improvement.
