It quit blowing cold air, and there had been some grinding. I took it in, they said it was low on freon (re-filled). He also said the compressor bearings are loose and starting to go. The AC is blowing cold now, but there is a squeaking when it is on and you can here a clicking. Is the squeaking and clicking coming from the bearings or does it sound like the whole comrpessor is shot?
Yeah, the shop guy said that it woudnt be worth just changing out the bearings, but that he would wait until they go out all the way because they may go another year, does that sound smart? Also on a side note, I have my valve cover gasket replaced (at a different place) a few weeks back, but I am not sure if they didnt do it at all and said they did, or maybe didnt tighten it down enough, becasue it appears to still be leaking and also the shop that checked my AC said it doesnt appear to have been replaced. Is there a way I can confirm this so I can have an idea of what I am talking about if/when I go and tear them a new one for shafting me.
