A week ago I paid $1700 for a new A/C compressor and condenser....installed. Right away a new noise showed up. The noise increases and decreases with the rpm's as the tranny shifts. Excuse me....transmission.......not tranny. laugh It starts and stops.......doesn't make the noise constantly. Could it be a faulty A/C compressor? It's under warranty, but I'm hoping it isn't the transmission pump. HELP!

Please discribe the noise. Squealing? Rattling? Low howl?

Does the noise go away when the A/C is completely turned off?

I've listened to every component that has a bearing with a stethoscope and can't hear it idling. It starts and stops while I'm driving. It's driving me crazy.

That sounds like it is in the belts , pulleys or idlers/tensioners.

New belt come with the install ?

Not a belt squealing. It's a high-pitched whine that changes with RPM's when the transmission shifts. I thought idler pulley but it sounds okay with stethoscope. I'll take it back to the danged shop that did the work. I suspect a bad A/C compressor even though it is new.

Mine was a bad bearing in the alternator

2016 Silverado


Sounded like power steering pump and louder with rpm

Interesting. It's a 2015 Silveraydo...but it's not constant. Comes and goes.

GF's car was doing that last weekend. Low power steering fluid. Only made noise when rpm increased. Never when turning the wheel. Seemed odd but that was it.

Flip it to defrost the compressor should engage then you should see the clutch turning then.

I can't even find a place to check the power steering fluid. I hate newer vehicles.

Taking it back to whom did the work is a must. Complaints must be noted quickly after work is done to be considered valid. Sounds like the problem is only under load and that is why you can't hear it at idle. Make sure the shop knows this. Yes , it even could be a bad compressor.

I'm trying to determine that. It doesn't stop instantly, but may stop a few seconds after turning off the switch.

I suspect you may be right. Possibly didn’t get the system purged completely? Good luck!
