There's a seperate belt for a/c and alternator. So why not try it without the a/c belt first?
Ha, maybe you should just go the whole hog and put in a new engine.

No definitely not!
Used 247spares.co.uk. All from low mileage accord and cheap.
Main Honda dealer wanted £700 plus vat and fitting for the a/c compressor and £300 plus vat and fitting for the alternator. Shame they dont live in the real world.
I got both for £250 including fitting
Shame it didnt solve the problem!!
Still wait till you hear about the Cavalier i had................................another story!!

you seem to like spending money buy a brand new one with warranty so no problems or digging in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try dripping soapy water onto each pulley with engine until the noise stops this will show you which is the noisy belt. Maybe the pulleys are so polished, that the rubber belt gets stick-slip oscillation.

Problem is finally fixed at last!!
The old crankshaft pulley was removed. The pulley had worn widthways in each groove with massive steps at the bottom of each one. It was badly glazed and as smooth as glass so no grip.
No noise in all conditions for two weeks so fingers crossed.
Here's to another year of economic motoring.
Thanks to all.
