Start Up Squeak
My moms rx300 has 100k on it and whenever we start it when the car is cold it squeaks. i thought it would've been a belt. we got the tb/wp and all the belts changed out with the 100k service but it still squeaks. any ideas?

Have to ask 2 questions ES. Those that know me know that I don't ask questions without a specific reason. #1 is what were the replacement belts (p/s & a/c, alt.), were they OEM Toyota or aftermarket and the second question is were the idler & tensioner pulleys and the tensioner replaced? Third question, (sorry), were OEM TB & W/P used? When I see the answers to these, I may have more input.

My money says belts too. Right after I got mine it started making a chirping noise. I was almost positive it was something along the lines of a bearing in the alternator. The belt was OE, looked tight and did not look worn. I took it in to the dealer and they listened to it. Within seconds they said it was a belt. A few hours later I pick it up and it never made the sound again. They hooked me up and did them free under CPO.
