Engine noise during startup

[Skylander]

Noticed that when i start my car, there's this noise which sounds like screeching. Even worse when i turn on my air conditioner. The noise is like those you always hear in buses and lorries when they start to move off in stationary position.

 

Maybe due to the timing belt? Anyone hear can shed some light?

 

FYI my car close to 100k mileage already. Going to do servicing next week.

sounds like your fan belt is slipping.

The belt is slipping. Common on any car based on Mistubishi technology. Hyundais suffer from this as well since their engine tech was based on Mitsubishi.

Thanks to all bros for the advice. Was having problems with my air con as well, mouldy smell coming through the vents. Read the forums here and guessing that the filter may be mouldy. Maybe need to change air con belt as well. Maybe because of rainy season?

 

Went around paya lebar (behind sing post) and ubi area to check out prices for servicing. Was quoted approx $400 for changing almost everything, saying my 4 yr old car about time already. Dono if true or just want to earn my $$$. normal servicing also cost about $180.

 

first reaction wah so ex ah..... din know do air con can cost so much.... anyway read through the forums here that markcool service good and reliable, but a bit far.... anyway bro got good shops around the area to recommend?
