Hi Guys
Please help me. I have a problem with my Toyota Carola CE 2004.
When I push my A\C switch, clutch doesn't engage the compressor right away but after 2-4 sec and then disengages after working 4-5 sec, the process repeats again and again, but no cool air comes from the vents. Any thoughts. Can I replace clutch without removing the compressor? How to do it?
Thank you.

It sounds like the problem is most likely low refrigerant in the system. That's why the clutch is kicking on and off. The clutch sounds like it's working fine; have somebody put some gauges on the system to see the refrigerant pressure. I bet it's low.
