AC Clutch Locked Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> AC Auto Repair Help Forum zsteve New User Jun 27, 2021, 8:40 PM Post #1 of 4 (983 views) AC Clutch Locked Sign In 2009 BMW 335i 3.0L 40k miles. AC is not working/no cold air but AC compressor appears to have a locked clutch with it always engaged. (front always spinning) regardless of AC on or off. Is it possible that only the clutch is damaged and that I can replace it without discharging the system? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 28, 2021, 2:21 AM Post #2 of 4 (967 views) Re: AC Clutch Locked Sign In It's not isolated so discharging it is in order to replace if required, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 28, 2021, 3:21 AM Post #3 of 4 (961 views) Re: AC Clutch Locked Sign In You should really leave this to a professional that's experienced with this system. Your car doesn't even have a clutch. It is controlled through internal valving. You can do more damage than good messing around with this system. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Nacho User Jul 8, 2021, 7:26 PM Post #4 of 4 (922 views) Re: AC Clutch Locked Sign In Those compressors have a refrigerant control valve (RCV). With only that mileage, I bet that it stopped working. We use an RCV tester to determine whether is good or bad. I hope you find someone who is willing to replace it instead of the whole compressor.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
