Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted March 26, 2019 Ive just purchased a 2011 Astra 1.6 petrol estate nice 51k miles. When it warms up there is a ticking noise from the engine like a dry pully/bearing noise. When you boot the air con up it disappears?? Just picked it from my local indy who re-gassed the AC system but its still the same. Any clues chaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkTVS 209 Posted March 26, 2019 Will be the clutch on the ac pump more than likely there fortunes from Vauxhall not worth fixing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks lads....I think I'll get my man to take the AC belt off and fire it up and if the noise goes off it sounds like the pump/clutch is the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
