I have recently started to hear a knocking noise everytime the A/C is turned on and the compressor is engaged. The A/C still blows cold and operates like normal.
My question is about what is the actual failing part, the Clutch or the Compressor? If it is the clutch, can the clutch be replaced without having to remove the compressor and evacuating the refrigerant?
