So the A/C on the car has been starting to give out dying more quickly as temps get higher. Mechanic put a smaller shim in the clutch which has seemingly temporarily solved the issue, however he says the clutch is still slipping.
That leaves me with 2 choices. Replace the clutch assembly or the entire compressor. Considerably more expensive labour wise to do the compressor.
However I am wondering if the reason that clutch slips a bit could be related to turning resistance in the compressor, which for whatever reason increases as temps rise?
Any thoughts from our automotive gurus?
Auto is 14 years old and yes A/C is a must as it also powers the defrosters in winter.
