AC compressor grumbling
My AC compressor has been making noise only when i turn on the AC. And it also is now not cooling so well. Wondering if the refrigerant could just be low? Has anyone else had theirs make noise like this?

Low 134 makes the compressor short cycle or not engage at all. If it's making noise while on, it's probably the clutch going out on the compressor.

I would try and just put the refrigerant at the correct level and see what happens before replacing the compressor, but it sounds like that train has already left the station.
Refrigerant leaks are pretty common, compressor replacements aren't common at all.

I have a bad AC compressor on my 2008 GX. Being it is winter i may wait a few weeks to replace. However, while I'm in replacing the compressor I wanted to see if there is anything else i need to consider addressing at the same time. I don't mind replacing if it is needed but don't want to throw extra $$ at things just because.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
