Im around Kent if anyone could help

I got a second hand one from mb developments. I’m sure it was £25.

it’s probably the pulley that is underneath it rather than the compressor , it could possibly be power steering pump , loosen off the ac belt tensioner take the belt off and see if it is quiet when you start it , the pulley is a cheap easy swap , if the tensioner pulley fails it can kill an engine as it can go through the cam cover and take the cam belt out , fingers crossed if it that and as above it’s an easy job to do

Hi mate
just tried your recommendation. Still squeaking!
It only happens when Air con is switched ON.
i guess it’s the compressor magnet engaging

ok i was hoping it was the same issue i had , can you oil or grease the clutch , i did on another car and it no longer makes a noise

the belt is not loose or worn ?
