squeak from compressor area

Refrigerant Type: 134a

Have a squeak/squeal from compressor area. Its not there alll the time. On a 20 minute trip, say, it could squeak after about 10 minutes into the trip, sometimes, right when ac is turned on. Its sooooo intermitten. I could though, get just one quick squeak in all the trip. Thats all- not a big problem.

AC is cold. Now, belt was new put on new in june 2006, 40,000 miles ago. Also, it appears "shiny" on the sides of the V belt. How long do these belts usually last, and is it a good bet its the belt?

I realize its a small gamble to change it and see......

Thanks

I'd try a new belt. Break it in for a few miles then check / retighten it.
