My husband has a compressor ordered and will replace it this weekend. It is smoking a little when I am driving it. Will it hurt to drive it short trips less than 10 or so minutes until i can get it fixed. My email address is : adamspamela963@gmail.com.
My car has 180000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Yes, it may cause the belt to break or cause the engine to overheat if it locks up completely. Do not drive it unless it is an emergency and overheating the engine is not a concern.
