After a WOT run I noticed something strange happened. When accelerating from 3rd to 4th I would hear a hiss from the engine. The hiss would also randomly occur at idle. While watching the engine I could see the "hiss" was the sound of the AC clutch slipping. On a cold engine it was fine, but when hot and idling it would occasionally slip for a second. Stranger still, the clutch wouldn't disengage when turned off from the control panel. AC performance is otherwise OK.
Does this mean I should be planning on removing the compressor to replace the clutch / compressor? .It looks like a hellish job that I'd rather avoid.
Maybe I should spray brake cleaner through the clutch to clean it????
