REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR If the AC compressor is seized, you don't have many options. Yes, you
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.

This is not cost effective. It's quicker and cheaper to replace the compressor.
My 2001 Beetle needs an AC compressor. They always replace an extra part or two as well -- the receiver/drier or a new belt. The dealer wants $1600 to do the job. Another shop specializing in VWs wants $1150. I'm hoping to find a less expensive compressor somewhere -- maybe a remanufactured one.
No, not by the average home mechanic. Bad compressor? Replace the entire unit.
