Just drove home through some terrible weather which included parts of the road being flooded, so had to wade through huge dirty great puddles.
Having got home I've noticed there's a horrible grinding noise coming from under the bonnet - off side. Further investigation reveals this only happens when the fan and a/c are on.
A/C was working fine earlier - so do I fear the worst - is this a compressor problem or could it be that the puddles have led to problems?
It's that time of year when a/c problems begin to appear having had less use over the winter, but I do try to use mine regularly.
Anyone experienced this? Quick search on the forums revealed it could be that the compressor has got clogged with sh*t - is that an easy fix and how? I take it if the compressor's had it I'm looking at hefty bill!
Cheers
