Louder A/C Condenser Fan Noise and Frequent Cycling Is Normal

To provide adequate cooling for its high performance, turbocharged engine, the '07 RDX comes with a huskier A/C condenser fan than what's used in other Acura models. Service clients may complain that the A/C runs loud, it cycles a lot while the engine is idling and, when it cycles, the lights flicker a bit. This is all true, but it's perfectly normal for this model and well within its design specs.

The RDX's condenser fan uses a 160-watt motor with a 120-watt motor in the subfan. The TL's condenser fan, by comparison, has just an 80-watt setup. The RDX's condenser fan runs at a higher speed and decibel range to do its job, so it sounds noticeably louder. And it cycles more often than other A/C condenser fans to handle the RDX's high-efficiency evaporator requirements. If your client isn't exactly bowled over by this explanation, just walk him or her over to another RDX on the lot, start the engine, and turn on the A/C. You'll make your point.
