WTF, AC acting crazy. appreciate any help

[Brute03]

man this is depressing, i have a bad squeal coming from around the compressor area whether the a/c is on or off, so i'm guessing it's the pulley. would i have to change everything?

wat a piece of crap, went to the junk yard and put a new pulley and low mile clutch on this POS. it's working fine now and very quiet and AC blows great. i bet this things gonna screw me over in like 2 days again. See, this is why i'm a frikin alcoholic :banghead:

thanks for all the help and reply svttech and coramparat, I really appreciated it.

BRute for the love of God, please, PLEASE just change the frikin clutch.. it's 40 bucks at the dealer, the dealer is the only place i know that sells the clutch seperate from the pulley and coil.. the clutch is stupid simple to replace..literally, just remove the 8mm bolt, and pull the clutch out and slap a new clutch on.. it shouldnt take more than 3 maybe 4 minutes.

by the way.. is the clutch suppose to be in 2 pieces? the new one i put in isnt...

No it's not supposed to be in two pieces..


Looks like you have a cat that is interested in car repair LOL

I wonder why they could not get the coil off but maybe if the coil did not get filled with metal it might last.

yes, my kitay is a stang banga'.

hopefully it lasts, it's still doing well and AC is blowing freezing cold
*knock on wood*

you should be fine.. it would be making noise by now if it was going to fail because of the coil

I would look at the tensioner or idler pulleys 1st. Even when my AC pulley began falling apart it never really squealed so much as rattled.

i already changed the idler pulley thinking it was the culprit, but no dice. the tensioner seemed fine too. when i turn the AC on it squeals a lot worse so i'm thinking/hoping that's the cause
