A/C problem
2014 RDX with 240K miles. Never had an issue with A/C till yesterday in 100 degree weather. All of a sudden, i heard constant loud noise. It was the A/C. Squealing noise. Goes away when I turn A/C off. I don't recall any A/C related work done on this car, ever. No refrigerant added, etc. Nothing. Any ideas where to look? Thanks.

So, today I tried adding refrigerant. Squealing noise is a lot less even A/C at full speed. I don't know where the compressor is. Looked at the engine with car started. Looked again after turning A/C on full speed. The only difference I could identify is that one of the two white colored fans behind the radiator was running. When I turned the A/C off the fan turned off.
Used A/C Pro to add refrigerant. Problem is the gauge showed pressure in Red the whole time. As I understand it, that means compressor needs to be looked at. I will have to take it into the shop (not Stealer). I have a trip coming to Las Vegas. Do not want to go there without A/C.
I typically buy parts myself and get the shop to fix. Saves me money.

Hopefully I don't need to replace the entire compressor!
Thanks for the feedback about compressor bearings.
