A/C-related Squeal (Belt?) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

KPW · 07-12-2018

Hi All -

I've noticed that when I first turn the A/C on, I get a squealing noise when I start to drive. Usually only lasts for the first 50ft or so. Most obvious in 1st or Reverse as I let the clutch out.

A/C seems to be functioning well (compressor seems to rotate OK by hand)...belt is new in the last two years (Continental Poly-V).

Has anyone run into this before? My feeling is that it's probably more belt than A/C, but strange that it only squeals when the A/C kicks on and at low RPM.
