@Rahimdad I read on one of the uk forums that there is a new dodge coming out that is a step up from the hellcat. I can't remember what it's called though.

how i must start and how i must end, the words are not supporting me to do justice. lets just say, after all the strategic planning (some would understand, what I am saying here) I finally managed to join the party. it was first time to go to the fossil rocks, the terrain was simple for a newbie and fewbie. and the sand was different OMG red. so the convoy was sailing through it and reached the bottom of the fossil rock clim, where as always the gurus @Gaurav and @Rahimdad guided us to the right way to approach and descend the fossil rock. Every newbie had heart up their throat seeing the great descent but with the right approach and patience it was made easy. not to mention your 4x4 will wiggle wiggle for sure The sun was about to set and yet we have to find the ghost town, so eager to see the mystery place. so en-route that we found many desert mosquitos (aka desert buggies) no surprise it was Faya region. So we reached the ghost town but somehow urbanisation had changed the landscape a bit. still felt HAUNTED. The secret SILK route. This a secret route to heaven, and I can say that because I have experienced it. But as they say heaven does not come easy. That's why the route to heaven was challenging with all focused on the path of car ahead and all the prayers that we know. we reached inch by inch, breath by breath to a place where you have left behind the city light and stars are gazing at you. and moonlight kisses. yes no exaggeration its the most peaceful mountain table top that I have ever been. So we coupled it with some SUFI music, DESI snacks and CARNITY gossips. and did we know when it was morning NO IDEA MATE. From sailing, to thrill to tranquility, it will be a night to remember

Any noise coming from the compressor is bad, but mechanical noises can sometimes be mimicked by a drive belt that is dry, sticky, or damaged. So, if the compressor is damaged and making a noise, it is likely that the system will not work as well as before. It may be worth the trouble to pop around to Barry's garage to let him check out the belt, and/or tensioner pulley(s), especially if the A/C system is working as well as it did before the noise started.

May be the compressor has a bad bearing also.

There could be leaking compressor gas and making some grinding noise, and AC cooling quality also deplete as treks as if A/C still working with same as before quality?

It must be coming while driving too, but with road and engine noise you might not be hearing it. Slight extra AC load on engine due to low rev while idle is normal for all cars especially in summer months, as AC work harder and frequent but what grinding noise you get, can you attach an audio file here.

Service centres are scammers. Here is a thread on the issue, Much better to find an independent garage who knows what they're doing and knows how to follow manufacturers service schedules. If someone tells you an oil is good for 3k or 6k or whatever they're full of shit and most likely putting in the wrong oil which will decrease your engines life. In the U.K. I was doing standard oil changes on some cars at 10,000 miles which is 16,000 kilometres and had no issues. Some brands such as VW and BMW spec oil at twice those distances. Do your research, know what oil your car needs and when it needs changed. Don't trust these capitalist monkeys.

They want your money. There is no need to change the oil if it has not reached the end of its service life, which is usually 10 000 km, or sometimes more. Check your manual for details. However, it is a good idea to just start the engine once a week or so to keep the engine lubricated, but I wont keep the oil in the engine for longer than about two years, even if it had not done its allowable mileage.

Does the A/C still work?
