I have had the same squeeling sound when the compressor kicks in on my 85 380SE. I increase the tension on the belt on the idler pulley and no more noise. Sound is from the belt slipping on the pulley. I have to do this about every 3-4 months as evidently the pulley attachment works loose and tension is reduced.
