It would seem the aircon pump is on it's way out on my 100K miler A4 1.9 tdi. There is a very noisy bearing rattle when the engine is idling and this rattle goes away when the aircon is switched on. My guess is any slop in the compressor clutch assy is taken up when under load and the bearing stops making quite so much noise.
I'm getting quotes of around £300 (not from audi) for a replacement pump and the Audi parts department (actually friendly and helpful....) have told me that I cannot buy the clutch pack alone as it is not available.
Is there any way to replace the bearing or am I better off replacing the pump and ebaying the old one for spares??
Cheers for the help.
