I recently washed my engine and on starting there was no issues. Latter that same day I started hearing a strange sound from the engine, my mechanic checked and said my compressor bearing is bad. The ac cools very well. I drive a 2010 camry. Is their any solution to this apart from getting a new compressor

I don't think so
Continue driving your car, the sound will go away....
Your pulley belt is wet

The pulley can be changed, if the noise continues.

There's a bearing making that noise. That's what you change.

My Toyota sienna 2004 model is having AC issues, each time I fill gas it lasts only a month till my AC guy told me the valve at the compressor is leaking which I gave him money to fix and refill the gas but unfortunately it only lasted for 24hrs and everything leaked out, now it's blowing hot

He hasn't found the leak. I hope it's not from the evaporator, that one they will bring the whole dashboard down.

It's low on gas. There's a leakage somewhere.

Hi Realsleek, my Car Ac is no longer cold. I visited an Ac technician and he said I need to change the compressor valve that it's leaking. I did so and yet the Ac refuse to be cold. He now told me my condenser is bad, that I need to change it.
Please I need to be sure if that's the problem or what other thing could cause it. It's not cold at all. (The car is Toy Matrix 06)

Hi �,
About a week ago, my car (Camry 2010) AC started working differently (passenger side cold, drivers side blowing normal /hot air).
Ac guy said it was a bad compressor+leakage and needed to change it and a few other things (condenser and pipes) .
Basically changed all he complained about and when we got done , AC would only get cold when on P and loose its coldness when on motion but he got his rewire friend to check and fix this and everything is working perfectly fine


Well fast forward to 2 days after I'm back to my first problem

Car was parked for 10 months toyota camry 2009 XLE V6 .. the first day I drove it, noticed the AC is blowing hot air ... I immediately went for a refill , after the refill, the Cold air wasn't top notch, also the drivers vent was blowing warm air , but the other vents was blowing cold air ... The AC guy suggested my valve wasn't good , he suggested I should drive it around for a day and give him feedback, a day later all the vents started blowing hot air , I went back to his garage he removed the radiator and Condenser , he checked the Compressor , from his diagnosis he said the compressor is bad .. that it's turning almost at will ( free will) ... He suggested I should change the compressor and condenser also the valve. .. he suggested manual Compressor , that the Automatic compressor will pack up real soon .... When we went to buy the Automatic compressor like I insisted , on getting to the Tokunbo shop , the sellers said they won't give me any warranty for the compressor, it's at owners risk ... Please what's you guys suggestions What happened to my Ac is it a packed up Compressor Should I go about getting the manual Compressor fitted

Hi,

I just got a Nigeria used acura tsx2004 model, I have been trying to fix the AC but no success yet, even after replacing the condenser and compressor , whenever the AC is switched on, the engine will go off, what could still be wrong ? What can we do again about it ?

Thank you.
