Default heater/AC ON= loud squeak

Hey guys,

im a new b with new b questions, I appreciate the help since I am mechanically retarded.

Heres ONE of my problems......................Last night I turned my 1986 944 t on when it made a loud squeal from what seemed the front of the car, I think it came from the pulleys or belts. It made the squeal for 4 sec. just when the car started up...............what can it be>? I replaced my belts and a couple pulleys like 4 months ago and really haven't been driving it much.


Heres another when I went to turn on the heater when I accelerate it made another sueeking noise and it was loud. Once I turn the heater off it would go away.....anybody know what it could be?


Thanks in advance I really need the help and I am greatfull...

Fred

Timing & balance shaft belt are supposed be retensioned after a couple of months after install. Also check alternator belt tension if you have squealing with electric consumers on.

Possibly a loose alternator/AC belt (may have stretched after the install).
