Aircon compressor going?

[rowan194]

Mine is now super noisy and it's also not cycling properly. If I switch AC on when cruising I can feel the car lurching as it kicks in and out, and the compressor only stays on for about a second each time (excessive friction causing overheat cutout?). Engine bay fan also starts up pretty quickly which didn't used to happen. Not sure it's worth spending $800+ on a repair, but ask me again once summer comes.
