The bearing in my compressor has failed - the compressor is making a grinding noise. Interestingly., the noise stops when the aircon is switched ON, but the noise appears when the aircon is OFF. I have sourced a second-hand replacement compressor from eBay for £80, and have a mobile mechanic teed up to swap them.
Just wondering what else is needed? Seals? Oil?
Bear in mind my aircon currently has a leak, so I cannot have it re-gassed just yet. I just need to replace the compressor to be able to drive the car - I understand if the bearing seizes it can damage a lot of other things.
Any advice welcomed
