Well I drove my car over 70MPH today and NO NOISEY A/C, I can only put this down to the 600 Firmware I upgraded the other week. :D

Does this only affect saloons/avants? I've not experienced it in the cab at all.
Cheers,
Daz :D

Would you really notice the rushing wind noise from the air vents in a cab with the roof down? :wink:

Try setting aircon to one bar on fan speed, then do in excess of 70 and see what happens, mine did it all the way to and from windsor last night and eventually I had to turn system off until things started to fog up inside.

Hi folks,
Mine is 7 weeks old with just over 5000kms. I noted that same problem with the air noise and I also worked out the only way to eliminate is to press the re-circulation button. It's quite loud as you gain speed. I'll talk to my dealer soon and post any update.
