The A\C clutch for last 10,000 miles or so has started to engage really (thump) hard. There is also a pronounced whine from the either the A/C clutch or the A\C compressor when turned on. The A\C system works great. I have search around this site concerning replacing just the clutch (if this is the source of the noise) with not much success. Has any one else had this issue?
Thank you advance.
Thanks for the reply. I do not think it is the belt.
1. I have replaced the belt recently.
2. The whine only happens when the A|C is turned on and when the A\C clutch engages.
