AC Compressor Making Noise

couldn't find anything in the search

my AC compressor seems to be making noise. when the AC is turned off its noisy (sounds like a bad alternator), but once i turn it on its fine

what is it, how much will it cost me to fix it?

your AC noise is the pulley bearing. read this thread carefully...

instruct your mechanic to just replace the bearing. he can do it for $30+labor without taking the compressor off or opening/recharging the refrigerant system (assuming you have no other problems, and your AC work ok).
