    Hi Guys,
    I got 2015 tacoma and right is summer time which I use a lot AC but it's come to annoying bc my AC make noise like supercharger when it is engaged, first I thought is the clutch bearing problem and I change it but still the same. Do you think the compressor it self I need to change like something damage inside , because my AC still cold and fine just the noise.
    Do I need to add freon first maybe help? Thanks Guys.

    There isn't much there to make noise. If it only happens when the clutch is engaged and you have a new clutch assembly then most likely it is the compressor.

    Get a mechanics stethoscope and you will be able to pinpoint the exact source of the noise.

    That's what I thought... the noise only getting loader when I press pedal gas if on idle rpm the noise sounds like rattle when the clutch engaged. Plus I feel like the AC pull a lot power from engine when it's engaged.
    I will try to get the stethoscope thing. Thanks
