The ac belt makes a loud squealing noise when I take off with the ac on. It goes away after a minute of driving and the ac works fine but it this happens every time I stop and start again.

Please help

HI there,

You will have to get the belt re adjusted, but first make sure that it is still in good condition, if in doubt fit a new belt.
