I got a huge amount of lag from when ever my ac compressor calls on
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.

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 called denso a few weeks ago and was told the there is no actual rebuild kit but you can get the individual parts on me own but unsure what ones I'd be ordering for a rebuild

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.

I was quoted $1100!
