So i replaced my A/C compressor for a new one , but got a problem later on ..

when i switch off the A/C, an abnormal scary sound comes out from the engine, tried to trace it down but with no luck .. it's like a ringing bell / clinking metal sound .. it continues for 3 seconds only.. clickclickclickclickclick metal sound, thats how i wud describe it

This happens the moment i switch off the A/C Only and continues for 3 seconds only

Note: old compressor was totally jammed, do you think it has damaged something inside while attempting to run the A/C ?!! adjuster maybe ?!

Your help is so appreciated ..
Thank you in advance..

 

Can you possibly make a video of it?

 

i don't have the car right now, i dropped it with some guy for couple days .. Meanwhile, you may want to share your initial thoughts/doubts plz .. thank you.

 

anyone ?!

 

Your description is a little vague I'm afraid. Could you get your friend or anyone to record it at least?

I would get the car on a lift, remove the plastic undercover and have someone start the car while you inspect from underneath. You should see/hear it then. Inspect the belt maybe?

 

-No need to go underneath .. sound level is as loud as someone ringing a bell right behind your ears lol.

-sound remains for almost 3 seconds right after you switch off the AC only.( No issues when start A/C, running the car whatsoever ).

-sounds pretty much like a constant clickclickclickclick metal sound

 

But you still can't trace where it's coming from?

 

No
couldn't figure out where exactly it's coming from but it's kinda from the front end of the engine, sound coming from that whole area .. i couldn't really point it out where its exactly... pullyes , adjuster, alternator .. i don't know

 

And that's exactly why I recommended you look under with the cover off.

 

Ok mmm.. What pulley does the compresser belt rotate with ?! crank pulley ?!
