squeek when turning on heat? so recently ive heard a little squeek coming from my car, it is in the lower V-belt part for sure. Well coming home from work today i decide to turn on the heat, all the sudden this death of a squeal is coming out of my car. As soon as i turn the heat off it stops. can someone tell me what has happened and how to fix? pictures would be greatly appreciated.

The compressor can go bad fast.. Mine is toasty and I have a video of it making a sound like a bent pushrod.
Most likely it is the idler and the tensioner/belt. Replace all three and you should be trouble free.
