Yup, regardless of whether you turn on the aircon or not, the engine will still drive drive the aircon compressor. It's just that the magnetic clutch in the compressor is not engaged, so no cold air

Hope u understand

And btw, check ur other belts like power steering and alternator as well.
EDITED: Don't get me wrong. I did not ask you to apply lubricant to your "timing belt". I'm referring to the aircon/alternator/power steering belt, if the squeking sounds still can be heard even after you tighten em' belts.
Again, do not apply any sorts of lubricant to ur timing belt, it's a stupid thing to do. The lubricant that i mentioned is something like a belt dresser. Spare part dealer should know what's that. It's not exactly a lubricant..so in this case, i'm da noob, not you

hehe, it's not 'squeking' actually, it's just gettin louder, not that it's gettin louder everyday, it's louder compare to few months ago, well, i do admit lst few months maintenance not so good, no money wan to bring to service. well, will be bringin my car to service this week (gaji!

), have been surveying those so called 'improve ur engine' liquids, some even say can reduce engine sound, maybe will get one, will share with u guys the result.
