noisy belt when a/c is on - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #43869 6 posts Started by LewFX
does anyone else belt make noise when you turn on the a/c?? i assume its the a/c belt.
yeah, is it a sort of squeeking noise? 90% possibility its the a/c belt. You might be able to just tighten it, or you could buy a new one, they should only be a few bucks.

depends on the noise.......
belts don't make noise in general when they are in good condition

unless they're not tight, in which case they squeek. rolleyes.gif
which is covered by the "when they are in good condition"
reading comprehension > u
the compressor if bad will also make a noise, and if yours has a clutch that could be the problem too..
even when the a/c is off the belt spins :rollseyes: so if it were loose it would make noise 24/7

which i'm not ruling out a loose belt.....too many of u e-mechs say its 1 thing...and u can't diagnose it down to 1 certain thing without actually seeing the car...so variety of options helps someone asking a question
