AC clutch howl
Hello, yesterday it started that i heard a howling noise coming from the engine bay so i poped my hood and found out its the AC clutch. It doesnt matter if the AC is on or off, but it makes a howling type of noise.
I blew out the clutch with air and it quieted down a bit, obviously going to need to replace it soon but i was wondering if there is any type of spray i can spray into it to quiet it down as a temporary fix. I figured wd40 and similar would be bad for it as its clutch operated and shouldnt be lubed. I was thinking electronic cleaner or brake cleaner?
Any input would be nice.
Thank you.
