This is exactly the noise im getting from my car, been on you tube for hours tryin to see if anyone has had this issue and you solved it for me thanks guy
I see you didn’t suggest to just replace the a/c clutch. That one is an easy one right on top. That noise is the clutch does not have anything to do with contamination in the system!
Excellent video! Clear, concise, right to the point & no B.S. .Now, If I could only fly you, your tools, your evacuation & and recovery tools here.....lol! You should do a 50 State tour and start HERE! Thanks for the help and keep them videos rolling!!!!!
My car sounds like this. It Just started two days ago the ac is ice cold still but the noise is pretty loud. Had it checked and two shops think it's the ac compressor. I'm hoping since mine still works great I'll just need to replace the compressor.
Not real sure it would be necessary to change all of that on that particular vehicle! The way it sounded when he spun it with your hand sounds just like the AC clutch not the whole compressor
What about on my 2007 Toyota Corolla, if I rev on gas peddle in neutral it makes a noise under hood. But when I engage my clutch like just put food down the noise stops .??? Please help My car is manual 5spd 07 ce Corolla

Great video! My 1993 Toyota compressor has made a grinding, droning noise for years. Although it blows cold, the noise annoys me at times. Should I replace the compressor?
Hey Glen, got a 2006 Suburban. My compressor started smoking/squealing at about 2,000 - 3,000 rpms. I took off the belt and the compressor never locked up on me. Would it be ok if I just replace the compressor since I caught it in time? Thank you!
When the shop told me this the other day I said hey well mr mechanic, I just replaced the compressor only in my pathfinder about 2 years ago and its just fine. Whats the difference in me doing that now for the compressor I need for my other car?... He essentially told me if I have moisture or debris in there than it will work but its gonna happen again. As I continue my due diligence I humbly admit I was arrogant and wrong. He was the mechanic I had evac the system... Glad I havnt put the new compressor on I got a few more parts to order...
Is it possible to know if the bearings on the ac compressor if it has any are bad? I removed my ac clutch because it’s loud at all times while the car is on. With the ac on or off. I’m convinced it’s the clutch pulley bearing. But how do I know if the ac compressor bearings are bad too? Clutch is $200. Complete compressor is $350 new! It’s an expensive guess

I was wondering why they had to replace the hole thing too, just sounds like the pulley, if its they compressor would'nt it make noise when the clutch kicks in 🤔
2015 Altima 2.5 SV, on clod start knocking sound from belt side of engine. Once the engine warms up it disappear. what will be the reason, any solutions?
I’ve been getting a squealing sound when idle that gets really loud but only sometimes. If I hit a bump, sometimes it’ll get louder. I have Firestone saying it’s my AC compressor but turning AC on/off has no effect on the noise. I wish I was a a mechanic.
My ac stopped blowing cold, but makes a grinding noise when I shut it off. So not only am I in the Texas heat but I have to keep it on and blow warm air to stop the grinding noise
When the AC noise in the interior of the car follow the engine turns,could be the puley or the expansion valve? My car is 5 years old and also i think nobody charge the gas!
Hello. Thanks for the nice video. My car is Fiat Bravo 2008 1.6 diesel and since I have it I have issues with unstable rough idle, more noticeable in the summer. I tried a lot of thing with this car and no improvement, visited a lot of mechanics, diagnostics etc and nobody can't find the issue. Having in mind that the rough idle is more noticeable in the summer I started to think if there is a problem with my air conditioning and more specifically sticking AC clutch or something like this. Last 1-2 weeks my car was working fine (I am not using AC anymore as it is not hot), so a few days ago I turned on the AC and I didn't noticed any issue, but after around 20 minutes I had to drive my car again and after starting it again the rough idle was there again. So is it possible my AC clutch to be sticking for some reason even after the AC is turned off and this to cause the rough idle? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much I looked at so many videos I had a grinding noise in a 2003 Volvo S60 I know it was from coming from the clutch but I think that the bearing went because when I went to turn the car on it click like a dead battery. I was told that it was the AC bearing but I am a woman and I know watching so many videos such as yours that you need to really check every pulley. But the car will not start. A serpentine belt will not turn over I don't know if it's the compressor or the clutch assembly. I would appreciate any help. I did watch your video it was very informative but the car will not turn over. Can you possibly do a video on what to do in this situation?
Dodge magnum 05 3.5L .... the shop told me 17hun..... im like why he said ineed to replace all those things but ibought a compressor ijust wann cross my fingers an put it on but I really need to know what it is ineed next to complete the entire system.... thanks in advance
Kinda weird the video doesn’t discuss the question of whether the problem is the whole compressor or just the clutch. Most backyard mechanics should be able to replace a clutch. But if it’s the whole compressor, who has an a/c servicing machine in their shed? Might as well just tell people to take it to a professional at that point.
$1,200 ne compressor going on 7 years well worth it ..The company in Arizona knew what they were doing they're located in Tempe And they only deal with AC ...I forget the exact name ..
So I just replaced my orifice tube, accumulator, and in the process of recharging my system, my clutch starts grinding really bad. What would cause this?

Hello Sir i am From pakistan And Mechanic i have a vitara And the left rear Tyre is getting wear out from outside bcus there is positive chamber but i dont see any adjustments for Chamber how can i fix that
Bad news😢That is the same noise in the compresor of my Aerio 2005 , Im sure that part cost a lot more than other parts, Why me?😭, Well , Air conditioning feels so good,Lets do it, Thank you Man , Many of us are learning Mechanic from you guys , .

Bad advice. If the clutch isn't engaged the grinding isn't coming from the compressor itself. It's either the pulley or the clutch plate needs a spacer, you don't have to remove the compressor to fix this.
The cause of the noise is the pin and ring backlash and scroll between sounds with each other hit of the eccentric coupling. Therefore, the rotation speed is limited to 6000 rpm or less, so the mechanical efficiency is poor and the life is short. The only solution is to use a double conical roller, which reveals Toyota's low IQ.
I ordered new ac compressor kit took it to mechanic and supposably it was fixed but an hour later it's started smoking under hood and ac went hot...now I'm watching videos cuz I can't trust anyone and don't know what to do..

The "grinding noise" you have for all your videos at the beginning is the strongest grinding noise than any other. Please fix that. It is piercing into my ears that I also try to skip that. very annoying. Thank you very much. Now, let me watch the rest of the video.

What I really learned from this video
1) definitely
2) of course
3) obviously (obviously)
4) replace A/C dryer every few years
How about just replacing the clutch? Pros and cons?
Extremely thorough + knowledgeable. Thanks!
You are expert in repairing car parts generally .
Perfect timing I needed this video.
I don't understand why you wouldn't suggest just changing out the clutch pulley or better yet just changing out the clutch pulley bearing.
Because they sell the expensive parts too.
Can this problem also cause a burning smell? Almost like a burning burning or metal smell? I have a grinding noise like this on a 2009 Honda crv
My car sounds like this. It Just started two days ago the ac is ice cold still but the noise is pretty loud. Had it checked and two shops think it's the ac compressor. I'm hoping since mine still works great I'll just need to replace the compressor.
Just replaced alt.and there is a wining noise is it a faulty alt. Or think it is a pulley bearing?
How about changing the ac pulley instead of a check list next time. Blessings 🙌

Any tips on grinding noise when pushing the gas just little? seems to go away once going at least 30. Coasting or braking no sound.
I’ve been having this problem sometimes in my 2006 navigator
Hello i experience same thing, did u figure out the problem?
Loose belt
Did you find out what it was?
Same here ..
What's a sign that your AC dryer is bad? Would the AC lines have a lot of condensation on it?

Can we just replace the pulley on the A/C compressor?
Yup, you will need a new clutch kit.
We appreciate your telling us the whole story of the issue!
Thank you for great video. My A/C pump has a sound like it is cavitation (a whining sound). A/C charge is good and I added some Freon and A/C is cold.

My 2013 explorer is doing the same noise currently so is it really the ac compressor mine don't work too ?
When you first started the car what was that sound in the beginning of the video?
My ‘91 Z28 Camaro was making that same noise and it was from the bad bearings in the AC Compressor.
I was wondering why they had to replace the hole thing too, just sounds like the pulley, if its they compressor would'nt it make noise when the clutch kicks in 🤔
2015 Altima 2.5 SV, on clod start knocking sound from belt side of engine. Once the engine warms up it disappear. what will be the reason, any solutions?
My screws between the pulley and AC compressor have came loose and are grinding against the pulley. Help
Is it true a new edge mustang needs AC for the fans to work. Keeping the engine from overheating?.
I’ve been getting a squealing sound when idle that gets really loud but only sometimes. If I hit a bump, sometimes it’ll get louder. I have Firestone saying it’s my AC compressor but turning AC on/off has no effect on the noise. I wish I was a a mechanic.
The belt spins the pulley for the AC compressor regardless if it’s on or off. Sounds like a ac compressor or a loose or worn belt
My ac stopped blowing cold, but makes a grinding noise when I shut it off. So not only am I in the Texas heat but I have to keep it on and blow warm air to stop the grinding noise
When the AC noise in the interior of the car follow the engine turns,could be the puley or the expansion valve? My car is 5 years old and also i think nobody charge the gas!
Do you advice I change the compressor only and flush the system with flushing agents or change compressor, condenser
Do you Recommend to Replace and 2002 chevrolet S10 Replace the value lifter it's not cost to much please let me know

It must be on some good ish lol idk that's an odd one
Do u even need the belt if u don't need ac

Just change the pulley why they trying to make it so difficult.
Mine seems more like a low whining.
The cause of the noise is the pin and ring backlash and scroll between sounds with each other hit of the eccentric coupling.
