Yes, it's nice here today, isn't it? Spent yesterday afternoon under the car fitting an exhaust - by far the coolest place to be (but not necessarily the most comfortable).
I had a problem with my clutch (Sanden compressor) and it turned out to be a worn clutch. On the Sanden, it is adjustable with shims. This is what the A/C guy did and showed me what he was doing. That fixed it. I saw a few people posting about the same problem, so I dismantled my clutch, took photos and wrote it up.
It might be totally inapplicable to your compressor, and I've no idea whether your clutch works the same way as mine, and if it does, whether the air gap spec. is anything like the same, but it's worth a look. The A/C guy reckons mine will never need doing again.
The write-up is below: go the the Saab 9000 Resource and look for "Adjusting the A/C compressor clutch air gap".
How many miles on your car? Mine has around 150K and the clutch was very worn.
Hope this is of some use.
