hi every one i hope i am in the right place.i run the water pump,power steering,
alternator and ac all separate and ac is making laud noise.can i replace the clutch on the ac compressor?

 

Welcome to the forum.

How did you run them separate? Most of the time, the noise is actually the one way clutch pulley on the alternator.

I am sure not sure about the clutch. These compressors are variable depending on system pressure and do not clutch cycle like most vehicles.

 

ok i took the serpentine belt off and i use a leather belt about 3/8 tickness
with a clip, i cut the belt to fit from the damper to the pulley of each parts
using just little tension on the tensioner because the clip is not very strong

 

Not a bad idea. Perhaps Steak can chime in on the clutch part of it. I have never had ours apart yet, so I don't know.

 

No clutch replacement. VDOT compressor are controlled by changing displacement internally. They are replaced as a unit.
But these compressor has fairly low failure rate tho.

does the noise change with A/C ON vs A/C off?

 

thank you!!

no the noise still about the same.
