AC Compressor Noise was created by vinpoldo
Does anyone of you here experience a grinding noise or metalic noise coming from the front driver side of your Jimny? This is prominent when you turn on the AC, you run for couple of miles then when you stop to maybe enter a parking and the gear is on Drive? It is really disturbing. The sound doesn't come as soon as you start the engine and turn on the AC though. I'm interested to know what you did to resolve it.

I had noise like this with silence when AC was off. Changed the compressor and it was OK. then a few weeks later I got a grinding rattle when the AC was off and a bit lesser noise when it was on, and changed the AC clutch from the compressor I had taken out of the car. And now it has been ok after that.
This was a Swift but it is the same parts on a Jimny.
