AC Compressor Clutch Siezures ? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be IanW on  Mon Apr 28 01:25 CST 2003 [RELATED]


Hi,

Firstly, my thanks to this forum collectively ! ! !

I have read elsewhere that 850s >onwards suffer AC Compressor clutch siezures, yet searching the archives nothing appears.

I 'seem' to be suffering a slight hesitation of the engine, at speed, whence the AC is active, as if when the compressor cuts in; almost a misfire.

Paranoid as ever, it makes me wonder, otherwise AC appears fully functional (ssshh) ..

855, Aug '96 20v.GLT.

Thoughts, please and any confirmed siezures ?

My thanks in advance,

IanW (UK)

    My '94-854T had a seizure @ 100K miles.Previous owner-dealer repaired-$850.
    It most likely was compressor itself-NOT clutch.
    They can happen-to all cars.
    Are you sure your not "overcharged" a/c?
