I had the belt tensioner and belt replaced a little over a year ago by shop down the street. It was fine until now during my cold starts or after its sit at least a few hours if you turn the air and or heat on it will squeal immediately or as I turn the wheel most the time it will I don't think this is a power steering issue because it make no sense why it comes with ac or heat usage and turning the wheel usually initiates it if it hasn't started right away then it will continue until I turn the ac or heat off and drive for about 5 mins or so then turn air or heat back on and it's gone wont do it again I thought of seeing how long it will squeal but I can't stand sounding like a hoopdie going down my street I tried it today for about a 2 blocks and it continued until I shut the air off. Sometimes you hear a clunk when you turn the air on especially if you on max air. There is a warranty for the work for 2 years or like 12000 miles which I'm still in but it's a busy shop and I don't have the time to be without a car while they take forever. The other work he did was work on the blend air door which I got a decent deal for all the work I got. But I'm looking at fixing this my self possibly I just wanna know where to start belt looks good not sure if it needs to be tightened up or what what are you guys thinking .
