Whats invloved to change the Aircon Compressor

[Hodge]

I'll have a couple of more beers and I should be able to decypher your cryptic message. lol.

Normally I take it to my mechanic and say 'fix it', but I recently found out, through unfortunate experience, my local dealership doesn't have a qualified auto leckie, so It'll be going to the local auto leckie in the new year - sooner rather than later. Forecast 40 on Xmas day. lol.

Hahaha. Sorry mate. Let me re-do it more simpler in order of sequence.

1. Went through several water crossings.
2. After that a whiney noise began appearing , especially when motor is revved up a bit...
3. Pin-pointed the noise to Aircon compressor.
4. Assumed it was the common bearing shot, which sits under the Aircon pulley (the bit that belt wraps and goes around(simple enough?)).
5. Found out, that this noise goes 50x louder when Aircon gets actually turned on.
6. After some homework and a visit to 2 aircon specialists, it was determined that the whole Aircon Compressor was stuffed, and not just the pulley attached to it.
7. After I replaced my Aircon compressor, I pulled my old one apart and it was clear as day, the internals were rusted/shot, especially the bearing that sits around the internal shaft.


Hope that clears it up a little bit more mate.

Merry Xmas !
