BrowardES330

Just to clarify, does this noise kinda sound like a hamster wheel spinning?

Thats the noise I have...

No, it doesn't sound like that at all. It's a tapping sound. Sometimes sporadic but lately its been constant until I adjust the temp setting upward (above or at the outside temp displayed).

So far so good as she hasn't noticed the noise since I replaced the servo.

Thanks for keeping us informed on your success. Can you provide a part number and cost?

Many thanks again!

Thanks for your input. I'll check on both and post my results.

I am thinking about getting wagner rotors and brake pads. Does anyone have any comments either for or against getting them?

many thanks,

Chris

I too went with the Wagner rotors and ceramic pads on my 04 ES 330 and up to now am very pleased.

My 2004 ES330 started making a very odd sound/noise today (90k mi) from behind the glovebox, sort of like a hamster is back there playing around. Clicking, Popping, Mechanical type sound. It happens whenever the car is running, regardless of whether the A/C is on/off, but when the A/C is working hard it is much more apparent. After searching around here it sounds very similar to the A/C servo issues that I found in the RX section... Does the ES300/ES330 suffer from this same servo problem? I guess I need to remove the glove box and start some diagnostics to figure it out, but I'm just not looking forward to doing so.

Thanks.

I have a similar problem. However, in my case it sounds more like a geiger counter than popping. Did you have any luck investigating?
