A/C pulley 335d

DirtyDieselDog · 09-17-2022, 11:43 AM

I have the belts off the 335d to replace the harmonic balancer. all the pulleys spin free except the A/C pulley. it has some drag on it. is this normal due to the clutch or do I have an issue with it?

Normal to have a bit of drag.

It should not make sounds though. It seems to me, with the new tighter belts (4K 830), the bearing of the AC compressor give up after a while.

no sounds. just a bit of drag. no feeling of grinding or anything. I will go with it....
