[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3735147, member: 24531"] I thought I had a bad AC compressor on my vehicle, but I wasn't sure if it was just the clutch instead. No noise when compressor not engaged, but when compressor engaged, awful bearing noises and the clutch housing gets real hot. So I got a new compressor with a new clutch and was in the process of installing and and the oil that came out of the old compressor is clean and no debris. The reason I am asking this, is because if this is actually just a bad clutch, then there should be no good reason to install a new accumulator??? I did buy one and planned to install, but it is a pain to remove the old one and if the system isn't contaminated, then I don't want to do more work than necessary? If the compressor was bad and/or the system was dirty, then shouldn't the oil have metal or dirt in it? [/QUOTE]
