Loud noise from left side

Post by Guest »

I got a loud screeching noise coming from the left side by the belt. It used to go away when I turned on my AC and I wouldnt hear it anymore. This worked for about a month or so now it wont go away. It almost sounds like the water pump pully but my car never overheats or runs bad. It wont always do it at first some times it takes a couple minutes for the car to get warm. Any ideas or anyone ever had this happen to them...??/ Need help

Could be the alt or a/c unit becoming/is faulty.
Is you surp belt tight?
Leaking any fluids onto the belt/pulleys?
Check it out.

A/C clutch. I can almost guarantee it. Mine's shot too. It's quite common.
