Hello guys and gals,
I own an 05 Beetle 1.9L TDI and just started hearing some serpentine belt screeching. It happens intermittently; upon start-up for a couple of seconds and then when the A/C is turned on it will happen every minute or so for about 5-10 seconds. I can also hear a sort of chattering.
I just changed the belt to rule that out. I thought it was the alternator but that seems to be okay (14.5V) and spins freely. I've kinda narrowed it down to the compressor or possibly the clutch. I've never had to work on anything like that so it kind of scares me.
I've recorded a video and put it on YouTube HERE.
Any input would be appreciated.
