baharini Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi all, first post from the happy new owner of a secondhand 2013 1.4 Fiesta! As the title says, there seems to be a squeaking sound that is made whenever the A/C is on when at idle, and is also audible when driving at low speeds (the sound speeds up with RPMs). The engine idles fine with the A/C both on and off so I don't think there's anything wrong there, although sometimes the RPMs dip down a bit when engaging the compressor for the first time with a cold engine. Here's a YouTube video I uploaded of the sound (turn up the volume): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjaDWfXOyQ8 Any idea what could be causing this? I couldn't identify if it was from the serpentine belt, compressor, or another part but would be grateful if someone has any idea. I'm nowhere near being an expert so forgive me for the crude description. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoboostWarrior Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi I'm not expert either but it sounds like a compressor problem to me, is the AC cold? A trip to either Ford or an AC specialist is in order! Hope you sort it out soon! EcoBoostWarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it to Ford and see what they say, the car is still under warranty (no service plan though). Regards, Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
