Trust me Trevor it was a very cheap repair - only cost me my time getting to dealer and they dropped me back at work plus car has been cleaned each time it has been in ! All cover under warranty

So perhaps i spoke to soon.... Noise returned and could here it now whilst accelerating. Took it back to the garage and faulty compressor identified - this has now been replaced and all working as normal!

So..... Car has been into Nissan today - technician came out on test drive and acknowledged the issue. Free of charge vehicle check done and no other faults found. Alternator / tensioner / belt adjusted apparently - now noise was initially there when i left garage, however 30 miles later and not hearing anything..... Due a service in January / 4000 miles time so if it is still doing it then will mentioned it - at least now logged on system and fingers crossed i wont hear anything soon !

Cheers Trevor both for the warm welcome and feedback From the online research certainly feels like a loose belt (hopefully not worn after 8000 miles) Booked in tomorrow with Nissan so they can check / listen to my chirping ;-) Will let you know how i get on Paul

Hi - i am new to the forum and have a query about a "chirping" sound that has suddenly developed on my Nissan X-Trail T32 which has only done 8000 miles. Originally i thought it was the accelerator as it only happened when i put my foot to the floor and gently lifted up you would hear this chirping sound (one chirp). Isolated issue now to the airconditioning - when it is off no chirping sound when driving. Could it be unit or was thinking more a belt issue ? Thanks
