Squealing air-con belt
« on: March 18, 2005, 15:56:44 »
on and off, the air-con belt seems to start slipping and squealing like a pig (well, kind of :wink: )

Is the tensioner automatic, or manually adjusted? I.e. does it need tightening, or do I have a problem with the tensioner?

Or, something else :shock:

Today is the first day I've switched it on in a long while.

It's had a new belt and wheel thingy (cos it got clogged up with Bramcote mud and sha**ed the bearings :roll: ), but I haven't had cause to use it until today.

Funny, when I operate the "air con" in the Rangie there's no squealing, but my hat gets blown off in  the breeze, unless I operate the rear "air con" too.

Take the belt off, clean the pulley up with a bit of WD40.. might just have picked up some muck at the weekend.

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I had a look today and found the belt to be rather loose. I've tightened it but haven't had chance to try it yet...
