Bad Pully or worse?

[d-nice]

Hey guys, my car started making this ticking/tapping noise the other day. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side in front of the motor. Aside from the noise the A/C stopped working as well. I was thinking or hoping that it could be a pully gone bad but I'm really not sure. Anyone hear this before? I took a short video of it. The shop I take the car to is about a 45 minute ride so I'm not sure if it should be towed.

Thanks.

Doesn’t sound catastrophic, I’d drive it. Hit it with a quick spray of WD40 and see if it stops. Put on your defroster and see if the clutch engages on the ac compressor.

P.S. all your idlers need some attention. Replace the bearings in those blue billet flow pulleys.

Sounds like a bad bearing. A mechanics stethoscope from the local tool store might help you locate where the sound is coming from but as stated above, probably best to replace all the bearings at this point.

Thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at each pully and see what's going on.
