Hey everyone, whats going on?
I have a 02 b5.5 passat 2.8l ATQ v6 5 spd. I currently have 53,xxx miles on her.
I had a problem last year where i noticed a whine occurring from the motor. I thought it was low on p/s fluid, so i picked up some at work. I topped it off and the sound persisted. I took it to get looked at and they said the clutch for the a/c comp. was toast. The mechanic got a used one from a passat with 60k on it, and installed it.This was done by my dads friends garage, not a vw dealership, and was done last September, and it was fine up until about 2 months ago. The so- called supercharger whine started to re occur and is very annoying and embarrassing. The a/c doesn't work at all now. I turn the fan on and press the a/c button and nothing happens. I work at a VW dealership so getting it fixed is not a problem.
I really don't understand why im having so many problems with a/c compressors:banghead:
Does anyone else have problems with their a/c comp. on the v6's?
Thanks steve:driving:
