  • Air con compressor

    Bearing is making a noise. Is there a bearing kit available or is it new compressor time?

    I know the clutch(electric)are avail.,but I don't think bearings are.Best bet to get a decent 2nd hand one or have a look on the Bay.HTH.

        It's illegal to let refrigerant into the atmosphere,so really speaking you are supposed to get the gas properly removed before working on AC systems,,,saying that if mine broke,I'd change it myself

          It's not the belt tensioner making the noise?

                99.9% chance of getting the bearings, would be extremely surprised if the bearings were not standard off the shelf sizes as the expense of having special size bearings made would have the bean counters freaking out. So any good bearing supplier could supply them.
