Well its been happening for a while now, and every morning when I turn it on, a loud squeal is heard. If I let it idle for a few minutes it dies down, but as soon as I tap the gas to roll out of the driveway its gets loud again. It's a short drive to the highway and after the 14 miles trip its quiet when I get to the garage.
I think it may be the clutch for the compressor though, as when I'm on the highway but still just starting out, I can hear it start and stop squealing if I turn the a/c on and off.
I looked at it when I was changing my oil but I don't know what to look for, and wondered if I should hit it with a shot of WD-40 but don't see where I should spray.
Any tips? Should I have it looked at by a mech? Would it be like cutting off the hand when you have a paper cut if I change the whole compressor?
