My AC went out a couple of weeks ago and this noise came right after. I'm so glad you posted this video! It really helped me confirm what my neighbor was trying to explain to me. THANK YOU AGAIN!

Bro thank you!! My ac went out and started making this noise, so now i know for a fact its my ac compressor bearing.

Man im so glad you made this video! I thought it was rod nock too and I was not very happy but the ac did just go out and it makes the same exact noise! Thank you very much you just saved me a shitty night of sleep.👍

I have a 2012 Nissan Maxima with 112,000 miles on it I had a knock that used to come and go and my AC was not working many mechanics told me that it needs a new engine but after seeing this video I replaced the AC pump and the knock went away thank you so much for this information

Omg! You are very good man my friend, this video is extremely helpful and to the point, what is the fix please also post that if I did not understand - fix bearing or replace compressor- for AC I was told that compressor needs replacement

If you can find the clutch you can replace clutch assembly without removing the ac compressor. You would not have to drain the refrigerant either. It’s most efficient and cost effective way. If clutch assembly is not available replace the whole compressor. You are very welcome brother

Did you also feel anything like the car feeling heavier?

If Your A/C still works and it’s still making that noise its the tensioner pulley banging against itself.

Really thank you

Thank you I appreciate you 😅

Just came across your post, and ol boy do I love you!! This is exactly what my car started doing recently, right after AC went down mid summer. 🥵 Was told I had a bad compressor by reputable company. Was reputable until I found lugnuts loose after tire rotation.. 🤬 So a couple questions if you have the time to reply, would be appreciated! 1. You say used, you have a site for those? Or just go to local junkyard? 2. Do you know if all gens after 7th match up? Or will I have to find a 7th gen used to match up? 3. Do you have a video on the clutch change, or a link to one you could drop? Thanks again for the vid, and taking time to reply. Subscribed!!

Hi. If you need used compressor you can go to local junkyard or eBay. If you buy new clutch it probably won’t won’t match to original compressor. I bought used original clutch in order to avoid draining the Freon and dealing with the mess. It has only 1 10mm bolt on the center and ring under it. It’s very easy to figure out.

If Converter is bad it should affect at least 3 Cylinders so it doesn’t have anything to do with converter. Most likely it is either spark plug or coil pack. They both are cheap parts

Can you check out the noise im having with mine? its a 1996 model, the AC stopped working and the water pump started leaking right after... i took it to an autoshop to replace the waterpump and it took them an entire month and cost me a fortune, after the car came back 2 days later it was sounding like this, and i cant tell if it is because of the ac or if they fucked up something with the timing chain

Well in that case you should drain the oil and check for metal shavings. These two sound is very similar and if your car cranks slow and doesn’t won’t to start it’s possible that your bearings are about to lock up

Hello, my 2011 Nissan Maxima is making a similar noise but it is much louder and clear even at idle. Noise started to come after driving on a highway for 30 minutes,switching off the car and then turning it on. How much should I expect to pay if it's the AC compressor issue as stated by you?

Hi. New compressor cost about 280 at the autozone. And labor about 150$. Plus Freon 30$. I went to the junk yard and removed just the clutch from another car for 20$ and that was all. If you can share the noise on your channel I can review and comment my opinion on it
