engine squeaking at Idle. Serpentine belt or accessory?
When my car is at Idle I hear a light chirping noise coming from the front of the motor. I replaced the serpentine belt and thermostat / gasket maybe a year ago. It doesnt go away when the car warms up at all. I can only hear it at idle though. The Power steering pump has also been replaced about a year ago. Water pump was done 3 years ago along with the timing belt. The car just turned 160k. Any ideas

It could be or whatever is holding the pinwheels in place. I had a slight noise coming from one of the pinwheels and mechanic sprayed some WD-40 on it and the noise was gone.

Fan clutch. WD-40 will relief some symptoms, but the problem need to be fixed. If you need complete instruction on how to replace it. Please email me. I just took my out and i discover something very interesting.

I have the same noise myself. In order to make sure that it's not some accesory or serpantine belt itself, I removed the belt and ran the motor (less than a minute).
In my case the noise was still there - that means timing puleys.
Try this. Then you'll know for sure.
