a/c belt
 

ok heres the prob., only when i turn on the a/c and shift like at 4rpm does the belt make a really loud screeching noise. it doesnt do it at all when i dont have it on and everything else is workin just fine except for that really loud annoying noise from the belt. it seems like somethin simple, like do you guys think the tensioner bolts just to be tightened up or somethin like that?

Have you even looked at the belt yet? Is it tight, is it loose, is it really worn out?

its not worn out. what other possibilities could that noise be commin from bc i think its gotta be the belt and whats the worse that could happen. of course i plan on gettin it feixed soon but just gotta know these things

The belt could just be a little lose, it happens all the time.

Could also be a problem with your A/C like a worn bearing, not to sure on that one though.

yea thats what i was thinkin, i talked to a guy who worked on it and said he thinks its just loose. so is it just 2 bolts i need to tighten by the a/c compressor?

Should be. It's pretty much a standard on almost all vehicles. You don't have to loosen anything to check the tension on it. Check to see if it is loose or taut before you start unbolting things.

itll be pretty obvious if it was loose right

Grab the belt, you should be able to twist it about 45-80 degrees I would say. If you are unsure just as a friend who has experiance with belt tensions to take a look.
