Boy, you guys took this post in a different direction, for sure. Hey, I took my 850 to a shop today for some noise when the A/C is on - sounded to me like a noisy compressor or clutch - advice given to me was to replace the plastic lower idler pulley, then the upper spring-loaded one, and get a quality belt.

Obviously better than replacing the compressor - anyway now to order said parts.....

fwiw, I had the same sound, and we replaced the pully. I ended up needing a new compressor, anyway. I decided to go with an aftermarket compressor because it was cheaper, caried a better warranty (lifetime) and had a higher capacity. The effects are my wallet is thicker and because the compressor is on less, my mpg is better. Just in case you do have to replace it

OK, thanks. I ordered the pulleys today and I guess I'll get the belt later if it still makes noise. I'll write you back for that compressor info if I need it! Hopefully the archives here work.

I'll order my CD changer soon, gotta be able to play CD's.
