Got a problem im getting :mad: about.
I have a sound that is coming from around the A/C compressor pulley that sounds like when brake pads rub against a rotor. the sound does speed up when i accelerate and let it idle. Kinda also diagnosed this at night OMG
ahhhugg please help :cry:
 
When it gets light out, make sure it's not the harmonic balancer. They tend to fail much more often than AC compressor clutches do. Us a piece of vacuum hose to get near where the noise is coming from.
 
:talon: Turned out to be the compressor :laugh: I got under the car and noticed very tiny metal sliver on the inside on the compressor pulley where metal has/is hitting metal and confirmed it by rotating the blade assembly inside the pulley. and when ever I turned the compressor on then off it would make the same noise. :thumb:
