Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just replaced idler pulley and belt and ac is still noisy

randyweyant answered 11 years ago

Thanks for this. The ac works but it's a little noisy right now even when the ac is turned off. I just drove my short 70 mile round trip and it was OK. I just put a new belt in yesterday so I assume it's all on one belt. My mechanic thought that by replacing the tensioner/idler pulley that the noise would subside. It didn't. Do I need to replace the whole compressor or can I just replace the clutch? Any suggestions for a economical fix?

I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima. I think I'm having a problem with the power steering. A few days ago it started making a grinding noise when i turned right, the PS fluid is low, but how do i know if that is the problem or if it's something more serious? The problem is, I am ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS when it comes to cars, car problems, repairs, labor, & fair prices. The other problem is that I'm a young, single mother on a VERY tight budget. How can I find a mechanic/garage in Chicago or the suburbs that is not going to completely take advantage of me?Any advice is much appreciated!!Tiffani 3 Answers

Dear CarguruI changed both front brakes , both front Calipers of my 1997 nissan maxima, I also changed the brake hose for passenger side brakes as per your advise. For a few days my car ran v.smoothly but again it has started giving me same trouble as before.i.e after driving about 8-9 miles I feel my brakes being jammed and my car losses its speed and if I remove my foot from the pedal the car stops and I smell burning smell.At this time if I stop my car and put cold water on my front Brakes , wait a few minutes then start my car ....I t runs like new and v.smooth, But the problem does not go away same thing happens again the next day and again.Please advise ASAP.
