P38A Seized clutch or AC Compressor?

Tilo · Sep 14, 2015

This happened after "high rev driving" trying to clean up my exhaust system due to failed emissions test.
Am I looking at clutch alone or complete AC compressor?

Clutch. Fixed.
Thanks all!

Ignore my last post... AC seized again!
Now I'm looking at a compressor, a condenser and a dryer.
The guy said that most probable cause is the condenser to be blocked which then caused the compressor to seize and consequentially the clutch.
I'll now tomorrow for sure once they present me the quotation.

Before your last post i was going to say it looked more like a seized compressor than the clutch.

They're not going to charge me for the clutch, after all, I drove only 10 Km before it failed again.
Deep down, I suspect they knew. I came to collect my car today and they didn't ask for a payment. "Take it and see if it's ok" they said...
Figures...!

Looks like you could build some sand castles in there too.

It's not that bad considering I live in a sand dune...

AC fixed.
Compressor (used), condenser (used) and dryer (new) replaced.
400 eur all in all.
Topic closed.
