Air Conditioning problem
2005 Suzuki Esteem Front Wheel Drive 44000 miles
The AC was serviced and compressor clutch was replaced after a problem in AC cooling few months back. After the repairs the service station technician had informed that although the AC is working now but there is problem in compressor and it can fail anytime. Also there is some abnormal noise everytime AC is put on and when the clutch engages.
After a month or so the AC again stopped. This time I took the car to another authorised service station. He informed that the compressor clutch has failed and on replacement the AC is again working now. For the frequeny failure he said that the clutch was not correctly installed due to which it might have failed so fast. The problem of abnormal noise in compressor is still there but the AC is functioning now.
I want to understand whether the frequent failure of AC compressor clutch is due to faulty fittment / faulty component / problem in compressor. Whether I should replace the compressor now or can I continue till it fails completely.
