I had bought my car back in September. Come like a month ago I finally used my ac for like the second time. I had it running and the car and I went up to my house and I heard a LOUD noise. So I went back to the car and listened and when I shut the AC off the noise went away. I brought the car to the dealership and they said that the bearings in the compressor went bad. It was replaced (after 2 weeks) and I think it is still pretty loud just not as loud as before. I was wondering if anyone else has had or noticed the same problem. Thanks

Big issues with car a/c's is due to the type of system it is. It's a hermetic system which means the oil and refrigerent are mixed/together in the system. When operated the oil assists in keeping seal sealed and parts lubed. If you don't run the a/c at least a few minutes every month or so you tend to dry out the seals/bearing/parts as the oil drains down. Then when you do start it you start it dry for a few seconds. Not that your a/c should have went bad that fast as it shouldn't have but this is just something most don't know about and will help to keep your a/c alive longer!

Thanks Boe. Hey drummer what is involved in rear brake conversions? I was curious as I was thinking about converting mine. Thanks again

I have the same problem with my ac man, every time i turn my ac on this deam clicking noise comes up, even some times when my ac is not on!

I have the exact same noise. Mine isnt that loud though. One thing I do notice is that when I push in my clutch the noise goes away. Is this cause for concern? Maybe I should just take it in to the dealer anyway.

Joe, you listened to my AC yesterday and decided the noise you hear is normal, right???

my car is making the same noise but when i use my ac, defroster, windows, headlights.. took it to mitsu, they told me it was my ac compressor, fan, extra loud injectors, and some emmission sensor dohickie.. I told them to listen to my driver wheel well while the ac is on and they told me " oh wow, thats what you're talking about." they ended up replacing my tranny giving me a brand new one and when i came to pick it up, it was driving smooth like when i just got it off the lot. about a week later the noise came back.. gr....
