    The problem in my car is that the compressor stops working altogether when the temperature outside is over 80° F, and it comes on sporadically if the temperature is under that but even then it mostly doesn't work in sunlight! This baffles me! I'm not sure how the outside temperature affects when the AC compressor is working? But when I looked at the pulley, every time the compressor turns off, the pulley completely stops! It doesn't idle with the clutch disengaged it just completely stops when the compressor is not working! Is the clutch still the problem? Is it stuck in one position so that if the compressor is turned off, it doesn't spin but if there's enough friction on the belt, it will start spinning the clutch and the compressor? My AC might be a little more complicated because when it's working, it still works when the car is Auto stop feature comes on and the engine isn't running?

    So my belt, and tensioner are new. Ac works and gets cold but squeals bad when turned on, do you think replacing just the clutch will fix it. Only squeals when clutch engages. Thanks

    The clutch on mjni cooper engages but no cold air , after I tried to refill the refrigerant. One of Ac lines had a home rubbing against another part and got hole in it. I did replace the ac line but refilling refrigerant isn’t fixing my no cold air issue. Any help?

    Would low freon cause the compressor fuse to break or pop?

    What if the compressor is working good most of the time but disconnects cool air randomly? Making a sound inside the cabin. Is it a clutch issue? My mechanic is telling it’s a bad compressor but it’s too expensive to replace the whole unit.

    My ac clutch is missing did it fall off? Is that common

    Terrible rattling once AC is turned on, stops once AC is turned off. Can a mechanic try to replace JUST the AC compressor clutch? Or will they just replace the whole AC compressor? Because the AC cools really well, but it has a terrible rattle.

      Just only the clutch can be replaced, even only the bearing, no need to replace the compressor itself.

      ​@@SkateSpace2012 Great! Thanks!

    Looking for increase in idle will only help check if A/C button is working. Most cars will raise engine RPM once the ECU recognises the A/C button has been pressed.

      And what if you turn the AC off and then the items really low a little bit shaky and the engine almost shutting off? But when you turn the AC button on, like you said, the increase in idle will bring it to a perfect idle. I have to drive with the Aceon all the time cause my car might shut off. What could this be?

    I just changed my serpentine belt and when ever I turn on my AC, I visually notice the belt moving slower, jumping in speed, and my battery level getting lower. Could it be the compressor clutch? Or a pulley bearing?

      It could be the Alternator Pulley i had to change my Alternator because my Battery was low all the time
