Hi!
I have had a problem with my ac compressor making gritty noises when engaged, and in the process of trying to find out what's wrong firstly my local garage told me: nothing wrong, but the cold air isn't getting into the cabin. Well I insisted that there is a noise coming from engine when ac is engaged. They looked again and this time concluded its the alternator freewheel or what that's called. Turns out that's a part i changed a couple years ago and still under warranty. The garage that originally changed the alternator took it in looked at it and said nothings wrong with the freewheel. They still did it under warranty but they also in the process found slack and noise coming from the belt tensioner.they also could confirm noise coming from ac Compressor when engaged. So.... Back to start plus one more problem.
My question is: is it easy to replace the belt tensioner myself? I have identified it. It looks like this.
Also about the ac compressor. This more of a job I guess? Is it worth trying to replace it with a second hand one ?
It's worth mentioning that when filled with gas the compressor doesn't make so much noise...but the gas runs out after 6 months and the compressor gets more and more noisy.
