My dad has a 2000 Cavalier with about 40,000 miles on it. Lately he's been getting a squealing noise coming from the engine. We discovered tonight that it appears to be the A/C compressor. Further research revealed that it looks like the A/C clutch bearing is going bad, because when we turn the A/C on, the noise goes away, but when we turn it off, the clutch bearing on the pulley stops, causing it to rub and squeal.
Now, it also seems like it is causing the belt to slow down...his battery died tonight. After buying a new one, the car started right up. So what we really wanna know is, that if the compressor slowing the belt down will draw juice from the battery and eventually kill it? Thanks..
