I get a very bad squeeling sound from the front of the car when the aircon is switched on. It will go away straight away when switched to ECON and return when switched to auto.
Anyone any ideas or suggestions how to diagonoise it.

It could either be the bearings in the air con compressor, or it could be the compressor is siezed and the squeeling is the belt slipping on the pulley.
You could try spray a bit of WD40 on the pulley and see if it goes away. Either way though it could mean a new air con compressor

It's no seized as the air con is working fine. Can the bearing be bought separately and fitted.

There's a good chance that the air-con belt just need
re-tensioned or replaced.

For anyone else with this problem I replaced the belt and tensioned it properly I think it was 25NM and it is working fine. The problem was and old worn belt slipping.
