Zdeno Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hello there, I got a question about strange clicking sound from area around the A/C compressor on my 2005 LS430. I have checked the A/C compressor area with flash light while engine runs. I can see light iron powder around A/C compressor pulley. Also once in a while I can see like one iron shaving piece jumps out around the pulley. A/C runs just fine but the sound is very load. This refurbished A/C compressor worked well over the year and half. Is there any pulley bearing which can go wrong and make bad noise? More Acceleration I make = more and faster clicking sound. Week ago I have heard this sound like 2 times a day. Now the sound is there all the time and I am afraid to drive the car. Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks a lot!

TrevC Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I think I would replace it before it throws the auxiliary belt as that would just result in more expense. I guess if it's on its way out, then better to catch it before it totally goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zdeno Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thanks for advise... I do not drive the car. I have ordered pulley bearing over ebay. But still don´t know if that bearing is the problem or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
