Heater Core/ AC problem? PLEASE help
Hi everyone. N00b here. I live in Ottawa, Canada, but my 98 3.0 is a Florida import.
This summer, my AC stopped working. Took it into a mechanic, they said my compressor had "exploded". Said it would be about 2000 to fix it. I decided to drive with no AC this summer. Now, I can't even run the heat to de-fog my windows. If I do, there is a "clunking" noise coming from inside the hood, just as if I left the AC on, last summer.
It gets louder and more frightening-sounding the longer I leave it on. Gets as loud as a chainsaw at times, and Im scared to drive with it on.
I'm sorry I'm describing this as such a girl. Canadian winters suck, and it's only about 2, 3 weeks away. I need help ASAP or I wont be able to drive.
Does anyone have ANY clue as to what Im talking about, or what I'm looking at for repair? http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/what.gif
Thanks a lot.
