A/C question

[Solara916]

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but sometimes when I turn on my A/C, I hear a brief, high pitch squeek (can't think of a better word). It happens sporadically but with the intense heat that we've been having here in Sac, I know I'm going to be using my A/C a lot for the next few months, and I'd like to prevent anything bad from happening.

Does anyone else experience the same thing when turning on the a/c?

Thank's in advance for any feedback.

Doesn't sound normal, how many miles on your solara?

possible belt slipping or bearings? might want to have it checked out to be on the safe side.

If you have alot of miles, get the AC system recharged and make sure they oil it well. Could also be that or a bad tensioner.. I have spare pumps and parts for gen 1 solaras. So if ya need parts leme know could prolly help ya out at a cheap price. The parts are not new, they are off wrecked solara's, camry's and avalon's (since they share some parts with us anyway).
