1993 90CS A/C Compressor making HORRIBLE noise...
 

Sounds like a kids toy lawn mower or when you put a baseball card
inside the wheel of a bicycle.

Audi wants 1800 to fix it :|

Any other ideas or just live with out A/C?
Thanks

Erik

Are you absolutely sure that the noise is comong from the compressor?
Your description of the noise sounds much more like a leaf, or other
obstruction, caught in the ventilation fan.

There are independent A/C specialists who should be able to
replace/recondition it. In the UK it's quite common for Audi dealerships
to farm out AC work to outside companies anyway.

Out of interest - is that 1800 USD, 1800 EUR, 1800 GBP, 1800 Flanian

Audi said they disconnected it and the noise never comes back now. The
cost is in USD. Now the other problem I am having is that the car just
goes DEAD..nada, nothing...rarely when I am slowing down and going into
a turn. Oddly enough it only does it when I slowing down to like
10-15MPH.

I had a car do that once. Turned out to be a loose battery connection.
