9-3 Areo A/C pump smokeing.
Discussion
Hi,
the Saab 9-3 Aero started to make some interesting noises today, followed by some smoke and an unusal smell.
This all appears to be coming from the A/C pump. THe car has made an wired rattle for some time (10 months) but it hasn't got any worse, until today.
I've seen some replacement pumps for a resonable price, however in the haynes manual it states not to work on the A/C system at home, always use a specialist.
If it was anyother pump, I'd simply wip it off and replace.
Has anyone else completed such a job, is working on A/C DIY dangerous/ hazardous?
Clearly I'd have to get it regassed at a specialist but would not doubt save some money doing the rest myself.
Many thanks,
Richard.
