Bad news
Went by the air-con guy today.
He says it's not a bearing...is the compressor going bad and it's an internal problem.
Only solution is to replace the compressor.
3 options.
1. Used compressor - maybe $1500 - $2000 plus installation of about $500 - $600 (2 hours)
2. Universal compressor (new) - maybe $2500 and another $1000 - $1500 to install (2 - 3 days)
3. New compressor (OEM) - maybe $7000

plus installation of about $500 - $600 (2 hours)
Anybody know where I could get the compressor for the CS3 Lancer repaired?
