Its getting really hot here finally and I don't have working A/C. Every once in a while when I start the car (with the A/C off) I get some sqealing from the belt. Then, if the A/C is turned on, I get this loud death squeal from the belt.

So what should I look for to fix the problems? I know that belt replacement is probably #1, but is there any adjustment or are the serpentine belts self-adjusting? If the belt is at fault, great. What if the A/C still doesn't work, what should I look into? Are problems with the compressor common with these cars?

Thanks for any help,

Nick
