My aircon was blowing intermittent hotair.  Went to aircon specialist at Autobay, mechanic said compressor clutch plate worn off.  Learnt that the compressor actually has a clutch plates with a paper-thin washer in between.  Mechanic removed the washer so that the plates has bettter grip and my aircon back to normal.
Interesting sharing. Do you still remember how much did they charge u?

hi Anaconda,did the mechanic remove out your compressor from the car to do it or they do it with out removing it,if they removed it out from the car then its not the compreesor fault cause after taking out ,they need to top up the gas,once gas enough its cold again.once the compressor don't cut it,you need to change the whole clutch assy.

After driving for more than 5 years, the compressor finally up lorry. Replaced at Autobay for <500. As for my friend the mechanic just clean the clutch so far so gd. If those who aircon sometime cool and then not. If u try to ramp yr car and it get cool. then maybe just need to clean the compressor clutch. Just for sharing.

Quite cheap.  I think $50 or $70 nia, including adding of compressor lubricant.  About 30 mins job.

Mechanic did not remove compressor out.  They jack up car and crawl underneath to remove the washer.  The washer about ten cent coin size, black in colour and thin like paper.
