a/c compressor/clutch making noises!

[NSX 2000]

For your reference, the compressor is Denso 10PA15C. Shared with other Honda models or even with other car manufactures so should be easy to get hold of re-conditioned one.

Please check your gas type and always replace the receiver whenever you have your system overhauled. It's acting as the filter as well.

Ideally, it is best to replace the O-rings at each joints but there are several points where it is best not to loosen them otherwise, you will create new leakage. It would be nice to have the leak detector added when you re-gas the system but your A/C specialist would know better than me.

Hope your system will get healthy soon.

Now that Kaz has put up that part number IIRC Gary (Hagasan (I think that is his forum name)) had to fit a new one to his car and this is the same part as fitted by Porsche. For some reason they don't charge an arm and a leg for this part.

HTH (I could also be wrong)

Thanks Kaz, that may well simplify things, and save some dosh as well
