How to check if I have metal in the AC system? - Redland1 - 09-25-2024
Hi all. I was driving and the AC got warm and I started to hear a squeal when I got it the next light. Pulled over and opened the hood and I could see smoke coming from the AC clutch. Tried to get the belt off but motor was so hot I just cut it. Turned the AC on yesterday and verified that the clutch enhanced and was able to turn the pulley by hand. It would catch and get rough every few turns.
How do I check if their is metal in the system?

Maybe open it up and drain it thru a thick rag? ... see if there are metal flakes?.

Currently draining out the Freon and the oil looks to be clean so far.
