This is looooong shot, but it happened to me... Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: growling noise, saab8, Wed, 1 Sep 2004 08:59:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Check to make sure that your A/C compresser mount is not broken and that the bolts are tight. One of my compressor bolts was apparently loose and it began to loosen even more from vibration. Eventually, the compressor began to vibrate badly and made an awful growling sound, both during acceleration and at idle. Finally, the remaining bolts snapped, and the compressor fell out while going 80 on the highway. Obviously that ripped the serp belt off along with it and....well you know what happens then.
Just check it to be safe.
