164 Squeal - FIX!
MSterling:
I know the exact metallic squeal that you are referring to. As odd as it
sounds, it is your AC/Water pump belt. Specifically, the AC compressor
pulley and belt. You need to tighten the belt more than it is now.
I had the exact same problem after replacing the belt. I would start the
car, and mostly only during acceleration, a loud shrill disgusting screech.
In mid-screech, I could reach over and turn off the HVAC. Instantly the
noise would cease.
I re-tightened the AC compressor belt, and all is quiet and peaceful once
again. A very simple fix.
Thanks,
