Re: E36 metallic "chickety - chickety - chickety" sound
The A/C compressor bearing is not a standard size, it's held in by a c-clip.. I had to take it apart and bring the assembly to a bearing shop to get it matched.. the bearing is actually pressed into the magnetic clutch pulley.. once you dismantle it you'll understand exactly what I mean.. you'll need a spare compressor to deal with this
Part of the thrill and trials of owning an old car.. but once you get it done it should last another 5-8 years
