Engine Noise From Airconditioning

[Danyboi]

Gday fellas

Havent taken my car out for a while from the garage, but over the last couple of weeks im geting this noise.

It sounds like engine noise and is coming from the engine bay its like a squeeling noise and comes and goes as i Accellerate ( funny thing is it only turns on when i turn on the Air conditioning and stops th eminiute i turn off the AC button)

On another note the Airconditioning is no longer cool ( Do you think the noise has anything to do with the Re-gass being nescesary) ?

The part that weirds me out is Engine noise as i understand is usually stereo related, but i have no sound in the car, the deck is out, and so are the amps, so just speakers sitting in the sockets with wires attached and nothing on the end ....

either way weirderd out

the sequel sounds like the A/C belt is loose, try tightening the tensioner pulley and see how ya go

could be that the compressor is stuffed and the squealing is the compressor seizing up enough that the belt is slipping. this could also be the reason why the air con is no longer cold. or it could simply be that it needs regassing (to make it cold again, but not to get rid of the squeal).

Thanks Guys

The compressor idea is a good one,

The squeeling, is not like a belt squeeling noise, it sounde like electronic engine noise,

maybe this is also due to the compressor failing...

will check the belt this evening
