AC makes noise when started

Hi,

My TL is less then a year old but I have noticed that when I start the AC, I hear a loud noise. It happens only when I strat it, after that it runs smoothly. Has anyone experienced this as well? What is this sound and what is the solution? Please advice.

Thanks

maybe you have leaves in it.

take the little filter out under your glove box (there are 3 screws and it just comes down, cylindrical)and empty it, if it doesnt have leaves in it then I dunno.

How old/miles are on it? maybe time for a new belt.

A nice quick fix is spraying armor-all on it, but you will still need a new belt.

put some belt dressing on it, just to shut it up a bit.
