Random airconditioning cut-out problem - restart fix 850 1994

Hey Klaus

Funny you should mention about the S belt. I was telling my mechanic in December that there was a funny noise coming from the S belt side of the engine, like a rattly mechanical sound. That was when I took it into the shop to get the AC regassed. The regas settled the noise down a bit it's still there when the AC is on. If the AC is OFF, the noise is not there.

I don't know how old the belt is to be honest. When I bought the car, it had about 125K kms on it. I got the timing belt changed at the point of purchase but regrettably, not the S-belt. I am regretting it since, from what I have read, the 850 serpentine belt is a PITA to change out.

If it turns out to be the compressor bearings, can they be DIY lubed?

Would you even think that the blower stage resistor might be a problem as well?

Thanks!

Regards
Lucast
