2006 S40 AC squeals on cold start

Post by quaverous »

My S40 T5 recently started to squeal on cold starts. When look under the car while it starts, I can see the air conditioning clutch spin while it squeals and then stops spinning as soon as the squealing stops. This usually happens for about 10 seconds. When I run the AC it doesn't make that sound and I do get cold air.

I was reading several posts about AC shims and wonder if that will also help me?
