Over the weekend i took a drive to lake elsinore (65 miles from san diego) and all of a sudden the rpm's started to lower and lower and i started smelling somewhat burnt rubber.. then there it was.. a large screeching sound and i immediately pull to the side on the freeway and turned off the car. i knew it was the AC because i noticed that it was blowing below average cold air prior to the noise.. after pulling to the side i check it out and there is pieces of my timing belt all over the place.. not cut in half but it seems the compressor was grinding on the belt.. so best thing to do was of course turn off the air and that did the trick.. but now whenever i turn on the ac the horrible noise comes up.. i know i have to replace it but i wont have the fund until next month.. woohoo my luck and here in SD its over 90 degrees.. just wanted to ask if there is any way to release maybe the clutch that engages the ac to spin on the timing belt or something to at least make it blow air at night.. im not a ac expert.. any suggestions will help por faver.. :whyme:
