Squeaky sound on start up?
Hey guys, I have been starting my car for the past few weeks only to hear this loud squeaking sound. The car runs great its just that there is this really loud squeaking sound like a mouse. It does this all the way until the car is warm. I don't want to sound like i'm driving an '84 Honda anymore!!! What is it?
Thanks,
Elliott

In your belt slipping ?

This "squeal" could from any of the bearings on any one of the pulleys under the hood. I've heard alternator bearings do this before they finally go. Hopefully, it's just the tensioner. Have someone start the car while you have the hood open and try and locate the source.

how many miles on the belt? it could be the belt or a bearing. if it is a bearing it's probably the one on the tensioner. mine went bad at about 30k miles and had same symptom, a mild squeek until it warmed up. I thought it was the belt, but I changed it and noise was still there.
