Exclamation A/C Sqeaks....!!!
Any Idea why my a/c would sqeak after a new belt? Seems as tho the tensioner isnt as tight against the belt as it can be..

Maybe a new belt??? One thats smaller??? Thanks in advance...

forget what the procedure is for adjusting tension (if any is even available) for ac belt. i just had all this replaced, but my usual shop did it because i had no time. possible tension need to be adjusted or tensioner replaced? how many miles on the car? what does the bentley manual say about tensioning that belt?

My AC squeks only when the HVAC control is on "2". I think it's pretty weird.

My ac squeaks on speeds 1-3. I just turn up the radio and it magically goes away.

My AC sounds like it's moaning when it's running. It seems like it builds up pressure and after a while it releases the pressure and makes some funny noises.
