Two weeks ago I posted a water running through pipes sound from my car. It was diagnosed as my ac compressor. This is what I can put together as to what happen. I waited three days for the part to come in. I was told go ahead and drive it but turn on ac. Well My AC compressor clutch froze up and the drive belt kept spinning around the locked up compressor. The belt got hot and burned up, smelled bad and broke. As a result my two of the pulleys got warped. I know this because, we tried to put a new belt on with the new compressor but it wouldn't stay on. So I had to buy a new compressor, two new pulleys, and two new belts. To make it worse...I just had the belts replaced a month ago. Just thought you might want to know. This sucks
