AC squeak.

[godfearingjerk]

ive returned with yet another problem. ive had this for quite a while now , actually kind of neglected it because i didnt really deem it a serious problem. so anywhom. Whenever i have my AC turned on, especially around start up, it sqeaks like a **** but goes away after a while of driving or momentarily when the rpms reach past about 2000. i had some guy inspect it and he claimed it was the tensioner pully and i put off on buying one because it was
a little much and it wasnt as important at the time. so now recently ive narrowed it to AC. Any takes gentlemen , and ladies.

How did you narrow down to the A/C...

I would use a mechanic stethscope or similar at check for the related noise on start up. Could very well be the tensioner, when the A/C kicks on, the tensioner may not be able to handle the extra load.

If it is the A/C, then it would be the bearings in the clutch... not a good thing.

ha good thought, i never thought about it like that. i just turn the AC off and on. i figured off and no sqeak means AC is the culprit. : / so it could very well be the tensioner?
