Dunno if anyone has this problem.

My car I usually off air con when I turn engine off.

So what happens is when I start my engine and then my air con on, the fan will blow hot air and I have to manually on and off the air con by pressing a/c and then it'll be normal again.

Alternatively I can press auto and then it'll be normal too.

Will probably mention this at my first service. Going to be this week.

Seems like the knocking sound when moving from stationery is normal then.. Just like bro cedy's camry drive shaft..

EDIT : i remember the showroom test drive unit was also like this when i tested it with the SA before i booked my car, started car, air con not cold and blowing hot air, SA thought air con spoilt, he played with the settings and voila it came back. wondering if this is normal?

Din notice as I always use Auto @ 26,5c which behaves normally. Do update us what SA said later. Thanks.

Again, din notice any knocking sound. Being it a Toyota, I kind of trust it to do its job so I rather pay more attention to the road and enjoying its smoothness than keep checking if it makes any weird noises.

actually... how to use the auto mode?

if i put on auto mode i notice the fan blows extremely quick as though its gonna explode.

if i put on auto mode do i need to turn it off manually when i switch my engine off?

Set your desired temp n press the auto. It suppose to cool the cabin to that temp automatically. if cabin is hot of cos full blast.

I turn it off before stop engine but it is up to you. Dont think it will hv any impact either way.

altis aircond auto mode doesn't control temperature. controls fan speed only. at max 28 setting, it can be freezing cold. on highways i've to turn it off now and then
*
My altis controls both, fan speed n compressor cut. Can feel the slight compressor cut in n out during, for eg, traffic light stationary.

Only thing is it doesn't blow hot air if your set temperature is higher than actual, eg in fraser hill etc.

Yep...after they service the belt they say the sound will be minor. Sound still the same after I drove it back.
I did asked will it fixed if I request to change the belt, but they can't guarantee.
I told them "So the problem still there?" They just smile.  mega_shok.gif

Need to change SC now, which place you recommend?

Or any car sifus know the cause of the sound?
When in gear + low RPM + brake, will have this whistling sound, like vacuum leak.
Sometimes at quiet neighborhood, I still can heard the sound (window opened) when slowing down.
*
Mine same. It is the cvt sound. Obvious when doing 20~30 with windows down n passby some walls especially (reflection). I am not worried.

my altis only done 10,000km.
so I cant really gv u an actual answer.
but you can actually download the maintenance packages from toyota malaysia website. so far the prices I was billed are the same as per d published maintenance packages fm d website.

altiis is a gd car. but mine is d facelift version.
so far I dont hv any problem w d car except its so quiet inside that I can hear d timing belt.
gonna send it for checks on whether there is any problem w d timing belt.

Altis uses timing chain. You must be referring to the auxiliary belt, or commonly known as fan belt.
