2016 S550 AC compressor shot
This car is new to me, belonged to a family member who passed away. It was garage kept near the ocean, but in pretty good shape. It sat for about 2 years while the estate was being settled. The AC was making a horrible noise from the belts for a while initially that went away, finally it stopped blowing cold air. About two weeks ago the AG compressor belt snapped with a thud. Took it to a local shop the next day and the compressor was shot. The repair man explained it to me. But he had never seen what the belt attached to get worn down in this way. Any one else had this happen or can explain the wear pattern. I also had the old changed . It wasn’t due by miles. But the car sat for so long, I understand oil can start to break down.
