Thanks for everyones help to my post last week. I was busy this weekend with my E38 and didnt have time to check out the Js error codes but will definetly be doing that this weekend! Thanks to Willie for the write up on how to get to the thing.

Anyway, I had to pick up my grandma the other day and said I would move the car into the garage real quick (tooo hot to work on it! I was in my work clothes anyway) so I started the car up and let it rest a second adn then turned on the climate control to AUTO and the AC turned to full and about two seconds later the belt was squeaking like crazy! I even opened the hood to take a closer look and had to cover my ears it was that loud. So I pulled it into the garage squeaking and shut it off and had to restart it to get it in there just right.

But this was the weird part. I had the IHKA OFF and I would start it up and everything was fine, Id move it into place and throw it into park and the belt would start squeaking again. I did this several times to make sure and it was only when I would put it in park is when it would start to squeak. Any ideas? AC was off the whole time.

My aunt got use to not using AC but its a must for me so I would like to fix this before I borrow it in the next couple weeks.

Thx again!

If the inside of the belt is glazed I would replace it.

Just tighten the belts or take it to almost any shop and have them tightened. Problem solved.
