Is there a fix for this besides replacing the AC compressor?
There are some threads here about replacing just the clutch assy., which saves the hassle and expense of cracking open the system and replacing the entire compressor outright.Originally Posted by P10 WRC
i suspect the same thing happening to my car right now. I don't have the grinding sound but i definately have the whining noise. im gonna take the belt off tonight and see. Is there a fix for this besides replacing the AC compressor?

Well, I know there's at least one here in the V36 section, because I've posted in it. I'll see if I can locate it.Originally Posted by P10 WRC

EDIT: Bingo!
Just searched "AC clutch replacement" and this popped right up: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...placement.html

'08 w/62k miles compressor just barely made noise like 2 or 3 times (usually after extended use). Luckily still under extended warranty and dealer agreed to replace it!
Disappointing the noise may come back, but noise was barely noticeable for 6 years 10 months... so hopefully new compressor will last that long!
