Hi Guys,

My NA8 aircon makes high pitch screeching noises on cold starts, once it gets warmed up its fine, aircon is still cold. Sounds like a belt or fan issue but I don't know.

I just had the car serviced, so I'm just wondering if this could last until the next service or if I need it addressed before something catostrophic happens to the aircon?

99.9% sure it will be the belt. They need to be very tight. Check it for wear and if it's ok tighten it up.

thanks,

Will see what I can do to the belt after work.

If you have any silicone spray handy, it might be worth giving the belt a spray too while you're there.

The belt will have dried out over time, the silicone spray freshens it up a bit.
