Has anyone out there any experience of knackered pulley on air conditioning compressors.
Mine is a SD7V16 1104911060 1157F R134A
The air con worked fine but over the last month the pump has sounded increasingly clattery. I can see that the serpentine belt pulley is out of true and is rubbing on the thrust plate and the clutch coil. I suspect that it has now rubbed through the coil as it, now, fails to pull in.
My question. Is it possible to repair these outer parts, is there a bearing that can be changed without disturbing all that a/c plumbing, or do I have to bite the bullit and change the whole thing. If so, any recommendations for a supplier in the midlands (Shrewsbury or WM area)
Any advice or experiences would be gratefully received.
