The bearing for the A/C compressor on my 2000 Golf GL has been slowly starting to go and now it has reached a point where it is really squealing. So much so that I was at my mechanic's garage today getting my winters put on and he was really worried it was going to seize up really soon and brake my belt. He said it sounded like there was no bearing left just metal on metal. This car though is my winter beater so I don't use the A/C that much and I don't want to spent hundreds getting the old compressor removed and a jobber installed. Is there a way of bypassing the compressor by adding a smaller accessory belt?
Thanks guys.
