New Compressor? -- Squealing?
Hello,
My 95 Suzuki Sidekick started with its huge high pitched squealing sound everytime I press the gas pedal. This all began after I'd taken the car to a local mechanic for an A/C recharge and such plus A/C belt replacement.....never had the problem beforehand. Well, didn't realise the problem 'till it was too late to take it back into the garage (though I did let my mech. know by phone). 'and what with the holiday weekend, won't see him again till after the Holiday. I stopped by a Shell Station and the mech on duty took a look and immediately told me that I'd need a new compressor. I was wondering if anyone had any input before I confront my mech. first hand with the car and before I go on the prowl for someone to service the car..........again. Mind you, the car is now a Fridge on wheels, but one I can't use due to the noise and since I don't want to muck things up further. HELP! |

Re: New Compressor? -- Squealing?
That's what I thought.
'but I wonder why did the Shell Guy quickly come up with such an answer? It's not as if they're on commission. Or are they? |

acctually the guy who recharged the ac might have overcharged it due to a common problem of compressor inaccuracies. causing extra srain on the drive system causing it to squeal.
