I had the same issue with my 2006. I thought the compressor clutch bearings were faulty. After further research, the rattling noise was actually coming from the serpentine belt tensioner. Easy repair!
Hope this helps.
Yes, but there usually isn't enough room to do it without removing the compressor from the vehicle and it could be the compressor bearing making the noise. So I think it's better to replace the compressor and clutch as one assembly.
Sorry but nope... The unit is a whole...If ac isnt that inportant to you, then you can try this. Find the belt for your model without ac, and change it missing the ac pulley. Disconnect the ac plug and you have a simple fix... NO ac mind you but no noise either... If ac is important, then get to a ac shop and have them remove the old r134 before changing the compressor. Then simply return to them to have it returned to your system...
SOURCE: ac clutch stop working, can the clutch be replaced
yes it can, but make sure the system has the proper pressure and the comp is getting the signal to comre on before you attempt repairs
