The belly pan is on (at least it was 2 days when I changed the oil). I washed (by hand) the car that same day and when I went to pick my wife up I had the same problem. I think I remember shutting down the engine and restarting thinking it was a cycle problem like indicated above. I have a 16v that had the belt problem. I stopped to get fuel and still had no AC. Drove to the airport and parked for an hour or so and on the drive home we had AC. That is why I thinking electric.

I do hear a chipring sound on cold start up and idle like a slipping belt so I guess that will be a cheap theory to test.
