Air Con
 
Hi Guys

Wonder if any of you can help

For the past couple of days ive been having a screeching sound coming from the engine bay whenever i switch the air con on. This is not to dissimilar from the sound the fan belt makes on a car when its on the way out.

Any Ideas?

As usual thanks in advance :thumb:

Easy job to replace, and replace alternator belt at the same time

Thought as much..... any guides on how to do this ?

Maybe just check the tension to begin with!
Change belt if it looks poor condition, you didn't say in the OP but does it blow cold? i
If not it could need a re-gas, about £70 from an aircon specialist, most visit you at home.

Dont be tempted by cheap offer at "Thick-Fit".....they dont do as good a job, and can if you are unlucky wreck your system! -overfilled mine and blew seals on the pump!

And ripped my front bumper off doing a re- gas!
