1993 90CS A/C Compressor making HORRIBLE noise...

Sounds like a kids toy lawn mower or when you put a baseball card inside the wheel of a bicycle.

Audi wants 1800 to fix it :|

Any other ideas or just live with out A/C? Thanks

Are you absolutely sure that the noise is comong from the compressor? Your description of the noise sounds much more like a leaf, or other obstruction, caught in the ventilation fan.

Try someone who isn't Audi?

There are independent A/C specialists who should be able to replace/recondition it. In the UK it's quite common for Audi dealerships to farm out AC work to outside companies anyway.

Out of interest - is that 1800 USD, 1800 EUR, 1800 GBP, 1800 Flanian Pobble Beads?

Audi said they disconnected it and the noise never comes back now. The cost is in USD. Now the other problem I am having is that the car just goes DEAD..nada, nothing...rarely when I am slowing down and going into a turn. Oddly enough it only does it when I slowing down to like

10-15MPH.

I had a car do that once. Turned out to be a loose battery connection.
