Air Condition Question
2.5 years and I have never used the AC. Yesterday I flushed the cooling system, when finished I tested the heat and AC. When I turn the AC on a loud clanking noise starts, the noise is consistant no matter which fan setting. More noticable inside car and annoying. Is this normal? Seems really loud.

Doesn't sound normal. Odd that it's inside the car. Depending on the type of sound, maybe there's a piece of something-or-other in your vents. If you can hear it in the engine bay, check your compressor and/or belts.
Why wouldn't you use the AC for 2.5 years?!?

My car sounds like a Freight Liner at idle with the A/C on. I think it is the throw out bearing rattling. Anyway, I have heard other owners comment on this and their comments are the same. So, if what you are hearing is coming from under the hood and is heard only at idle I'd say it is normal.

yeah A/C definitely comes on when you use defroster. As for that sound, it does not sound normal at all. maybe post a video of what it sounds like to better troubleshoot it from here

then maybe it's the A/C radiator fan rubbing?? Perhaps you somehow messed something up when did the fluid change?? Since you didn't have this problem before you did that makes me belive something happened when you did the work. I once changed the oil on my girl friend's car and somehow bumped the radiator fan cover just slightly and it was rubbing
