My car made a shreaking sound similar to a belt slipping, then loss of power, rough sound and a bad smell.
I stopped and tested the gears, no proble, not the brakes either, then when i switched the A/C of, the noise and smell stopped. When i swith it on again, it sounds, smell bad and loss of power.
So it seems its got to do wit the A/C in some way. please advise.
My impression is that it sound typically like something similar to bearings that seized. The smell is like rubber so i suppose its the belt slipping on the pulley.
easy or difficult to replace?

sounds like the aircon compressor has seized,there is a drive belt on it and the compressor engages when you hit the switch,it should take a little power from the engine , but sounds like yours is seized.
