Horrible Squeal! !
Hey if anybody can help with this horrible squeal that would be amazing!!! Is it the belt tensioner? Or the water pump? I hear a grinding noise from the water pump pulley area. But when I spray silicon at the tensioner pulley the squeal will stop.
1. Under WOT my A/C will blow warm air then go back to cold.
2. VSC warning light comes on.
I've already tried replacing the tensioner pulley with no luck. Please help! It is driving me crazy!!

The water pump is a VERY common failure part on the 2IS. I would start there; it doesn't necessary leak to be a bad unit. Others, like you, have only heard squeaking/grinding/etc.
Ask the dealership to warranty the water pump, as it is part of the powertrain warranty.
