Volvo Repair: A/C Compressor, 1999 volvo v70, volvo v70


Question
Chris my bearings maybe going on my A/C compressor of my 1999 Volvo V70 can I get the bearings replaced in this or do I have to buy another compressor? Thanks for the help.

Answer
i personally do not replace the 'bearings' on the compressor. it makes little sense to perform all that work, and have a marginal compressor in the car. some people might be willing to install a 'clutch' in it (which should include the bearings) but at every dealer i have worked at that was not the case.  simply at a dealer they have to warrenty their work 1 year unlimited mileage.....so they often opt for the compressor. honestly i am not even sure if volvo offers a cluthc assemply for your compressor.
