In another video they replaced the pulley and the rattling noise stopped, now I tried it. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from... www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...
What noise was it making? My 2010 corolla ac is making a little noise. Almost whining a little. Still works tho. Wondering if i should just keep sending it until something breaks. 240k miles on it hate throwong $ at it.

The compressor was making a rattling sound. The pistons were hitting the top of the head creating the sound. I have a video taking the old compressor apart and showing the pistons coming out too far on compression strokes. The new compressor makes the same noise but its not as bad as with the old compressor. If ac still works then you can leave it but it's making the noise for a reason not sure why the pistons noise gets worse but it must be from wear.

I used loctite blue. Issue is you can't get it off later. Just a last resort before having to replace the compressor. If you need to replace the compressor I have a video.

@@user-wz2de5ze1r This is a clutchless pulley and should always turn. If the compressor seizes that part is designed to break so that the car can still be used.

@@chriss4365 I had this outer and inner plate (with the rubber dampers) fall off my OEM compressor after 200k miles, it fell off while driving and I lost it. Bought a new compressor off eBay, car blew very cold A/C, but the outer and inner plate on the new compressor fell off within 100 miles. Thoughts on the cause and what to do? Several others are pointing to this mechanical fix to bolt in that plate to prevent it from falling off, figure that's my next step. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGi9qmRne7uHbrs

@@chriss4365 I did reach back to the seller on eBay and they shipped another new compressor, free of charge. They told me I must have gotten the belt stuck on the clutch during installation, whatever that means. I will admit that it's possible I overtightened the serpentine belt, I had less than 90 degrees of play. My main concern is if there is something in the car that is "causing" this plate to fall off, considering it happened with 2 compressors in short time. I'd hate to have the same problem happen with this 2nd new one, I may just get the tool to ensure it is tightened down enough on this new one.

@@meka3737 It doesn't always work, It has a way of shutting off the compressor, but it does always rotate. Both kinds of pulleys do have a bearing that needs to be greased every few years.
