A/C noise
Ok before I spend my Hard earned money I thought I'd ask.
I have a noise coming from my A/C compressor that sounds like a screechy worn out bearing all the time. A/C on or off doesn't matter. A/C works fine cold air is Good. If I spray some WD40 on the clutch while the car is running the noise goes away for a little while and then comes back.
Should I replace the Belt? or the clutch itself? or do i need a new compressor? anyone having any experience with this type of issue? Thanx.

mine was making horrible sounds from the extra pulley being worn out.
theres a little idle pulley between the ac compressor and the crank. hard to see unless you get up under there.

I'd go ahead and replace the belt first. I had a loud screeching when I turned on the a/c. I know its not exactly like your problem, but a $20 belt is worth a shot. At least in my area it is

Does it sound like that? My compressor went out and when the AC was on it would make that horrible grinding/screeching noise.
Not sure if that video is any help but i tried.
