New to this forum so grateful for any help, suggestions or advice anyone can give me.
I've got a 92 Prelude 2.2 Vtec (japanese import) which has started making a really unpleasant low screeching noise when idling or at low revs. Only just had the car MOT'd this week so went back to see if the mechanic could help. The guy reckons it's a problem with the air con pump and/or the bearings in it. He seems fairly sure but advised me to take it to an air con specialist.
Anyone aware of or had similar problems? If it is the air con unit what sort of prices are we talking for new/reconditioned units? I don't really want to take it to Honda unless I have to so any suggestions, help, advice would be much appreciated.
Btw, much as I love my car I know nothing about it so layman language is necessary! Thanks.
