Extreme AC lag

There's also a drone noise quite like a worn baring sound coming from it as well when at 1500rpm or more. Just wondering if this is a quick fix or am I up for a new ac pump ?
I have a spare compressor at home that I was going to get a rebuild but I can't find anyone who will or even sell the kits.
But if it's just a matter of changing a barring them I'm happy with that

If the noise is there A/C on and off then it may be a worn bearing in the A/C pulley. If the noise is there only with the A/C clutch engaged, then it may be the compressor. You will also need to check any idler pulley bearings that the A/C belt runs on.
You may find a new replacement compressor a better option than reconditioning an old one. Cool Drive in Melb (Lexton Rd Box Hill) stock A/C parts for most cars.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Mines noisy / rattly when it engages. Still works but AC guy said its on its way out, might last 3 months, might last 3 years.
I got a replacement. Rebuild is $$$, cheaper just to get a good s/h one.

I was quoted $400 for a rebuild, you cant buy new anymore.
Picked up one off an 80k B4 for $100 with a 3 month warranty.
