2002 9-3 a/c pulley noise Posted by Bob E [Email] (#404) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bob E) on Sun, 4 Aug 2013 15:56:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
2002 9-3 SE with 130k. Rubbing or wobbling sound was happening. Traced it to when the A/C was on. Noticed when cycling the air off and on, the noise happened and the pulley at the a/c compressor wobbled. Just replaced the water pump a few weeks ago in my 99 9-3 (thanks to Anders listening to a sound clip and identifying that for me) so ironic that I'm having another issue on the 02 in the belt area. Thinking its the pulley maybe the bearings? Do I need to replace the entire compressor or can that pulley just be replaced as a first step to see if I corrected it? One other point, the sound is more noticeable in the 20 to 30 mph range. Thanks
