Hi! First time poster here, so I'm not sure if I'm on the correct section.
Recently my AC stopped working, I went to my usual repair shop where they filled the cooling liquid back up and told me to drive a while to see if the AC worked again, and it didn't. I opened the hood and notice that the AC compressor is not rotating.
This is already my second AC compressor as I had a similar issue about 2 years ago.
My question is, is this a common issue? Is there any way to repair the compressor or the magnetic clutch that I can point my repair shop to? Because I really don't want to shell out 300€ + installation for a new compressor if this one can be salvaged.
Alternatively, is there a way to engage the clutch manually to test if the compressor still works?
Thank you all in advance!
