[QUOTE="CCS86, post: 15392105, member: 140595"] Hi guys, How likely is it that the AC compressor clutch only fails? I was driving home yesterday slowly, AC was blowing cold. Then I heard kind of a steady "wooooooooooooooo" noise. I immediately turned off the stereo, still there. I thought it was something driveline, shifted into neutral, still there. After about 8 seconds it tapered and was gone. At that point I noticed the AC was blowing warm. Back in my driveway, nothing was leaking out, and no condensate was dripping. I came back to it this morning, had it idling, then kicked on the AC. I watched the compressor, and while the outer portion was spinning (marked green), the inner section (red) appeared to be rotating very slow. I thought it might be an optical illusion, but over the next 30 seconds or so, it slowed to a stop. I'm trying to decide how likely it is to just be a clutch problem, vs the compressor failing and overcoming the clutch. The connector is still intact. Thoughts? [ATTACH]72162.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
