Is it normal for the A/C compressor to sound really loud and clunky like an electric air compressor? Everything works the way it should and I know the engine drag is normal for a small car. it's the loud noise I am worry about.:confused:

how warm is it? why do you need ac anyhow? if probably compressing ice.. :P
Haha funny rabbit :-) no the compressor is running when the de-frost is on so it's very loud.Quote:

is it the clutch cycling making noise or the compressor itself?
The sound is coming from the compressor and I have not heard the clutch even turn off on it when it is running. The temps have been above freezing here an even in the summer it sounded the same. I think that I am over due for a trip to the dealer.
it seems like it, the compressor shouldn't be any louder than any other car.
i would be willing to think (still) that the ac is designed to remove @ 20*. its boiling point is -15* so instead of pumping gas134a through the system i was thinking it was liquid.. and since you can NOT compress liquid.. it possibly harmed your a/c compressor..
You should probably check the ball bearings on the a/c compressor
