Engine Knock - How’s your a/c?
Thought my car developed a rod knock yesterday. I could hear it when I was sitting next to other cars in traffic. Finally got a chance to listen to it in a parking lot and realized it was the a/c compressor.
The coming and going of the noise is me turning the a/c on/off.
I’ve got a new compressor already in the way, but if your engine is making noises, rule out accessory noises before letting the shop sell you an engine.
