Hi

I have a suzuki swift sport, 07.
im not a mechanic so sorry if description is poor. i just wnt to figure out the issue..

on the belt one of the gear sections (outer area) is getting stuck/stopping, which is causing a loud noise, then it rotates again.

can it be lubricated or does it need replacing? is it safe to drive the car?

see attached photo. ive got a video but how do i upload?

thks

That looks like an Air Conditioning compressor, the bit that stops & starts is the clutch coming in & out.

If when it is in & the inner part is turning the noise is present it sounds like you need a new compressor.

If it is when the inner part is not turning, it may just be the clutch.

Either way the best bet is to get the Air Conditioning checked out properly.
