You will have to take it somewhere and have they system evacuated before you can change it out. It would be worth doing before it goes if you think it is. If the compressor goes, it could contaminate your system and then most places will recommend changing everything. Also, not sure if it uses the YZ1234 refrigerant but that stuff is pricing and most places outside of a specialty AC shop or a dealer wont be able to recharge it.

Hi, have you figured what is wrong with it? my did the same noise when turning on the A/C and stopped after like 10 seconds, but one day the noise did not stop. Now everytime I turn it on it makes that loud noise nonstop when idle and will decrease when increasing speed and the air is not so cold.
