Air conditioning pump/compressor
Hiya,
My 1995 Prelude has started making a loud "whooshing" sound when I start the car, and when damp I get a screaching when I turn out of my drive, like a loose belt. The loud pump sound comes in when I turn sharply and go to park, or when the car is cold.
A local garage told me my air conditioning pump/compressor (I assume the pump is the same thing as the compressor) is perishing and needs replacing, and that the screach is a loose bearing on the a/c belt pulley.
Even with a/c switched off I get the noises, presumably because I either have to fix the compressor and bearing, or bypass the air con system completely.
Honda wants a grand for a new compressor. Any ideas where I can get a cheaper recon one, or a cheaper part?
Thank you,
Steven
