Default AC Comp Broken??

When I turn on the AC it just blows hot air everywhere and it has a weird noise to it. I got a sound clip the other day, thoughts?
I think the compressor is bad?

First off, you have pissed off a lot of people on here and they will NOT help you.
Secondly, that video sucked. Truthfully pop the hood and go under the car and do a video while idling.
Thirdly, just take off the belt and spin the compressor if you think its bad!
Also check the compressor when running the car to see if it actually engages. It may be the clutch going bad and hitting the front of the compressor. Either way if it is doing that, its bad!

Might be coincidence and its a idler pulley or something making noise and the a/c stopped working.

But check those and get a better vid.

Looked under the hood and it has a compressor, seems to be the culprit.

With how slow your car is for the mods you have, you should let it burn.

Just saying.

You are such a big meanie! It should be at least a deep 10 second car for what's done. Maybe if I take out about 700lbs I'll be taken more seriously!111
