Aircon Compressor Clutch Slip?

Currently my aircon makes squeeky and grinding noises from the compressor pulley when its off but as soon as I turn the aircon on it goes away, but makes noises like its really struggling to turn the pulley. It doesnt sound smooth, i can hear metal on metal kinda noises. One thing I have noticed is that occasionally i can be stationary at a set of lights and the aircon will go hot, but at the same time the engine revs a little free-er, as if I haved turned the aircon off and then back on again quickly. It sounds like perhaps the clutch is slipping somewhat, and then it "grips" again.

Does this sound correct? Also, can one swap the clutch and pulley off the front of the compressor without havingg to remove the gas etc?

Thanks!

JK

I feel sorry for you mate, the same thing happened to mine before the pump packed it in (seized), I have found a pump but the darn hose fittings are different, and do you think i could find any that will fit ha! :(

Hope your clutch is slipping but I doubt it :rofl:

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
