Name that sound...
Everytime i start the car a sqeeking sound emerges from the engine. It is not THAT loud although i do hear it from the inside of the car. It sounds like something needs to be lubricated so im asking you guys if you can pin point or give me a general info about where the sound could be coming from. Im really close to going ape **** with my wd40

Serpentine belt. That is the belt that runs your alternator, and a bunch of other things. It squeels when those pulleys are cold, and probably goes away once it warms up. Wait till 90k to do the timing belt though.

Either get some belt squeel dressing like said above, or get a new belt. I would go with the belt, the dressing is like glue and I never really recommended it for people.

Who to hold responsible if the belt brakes at 65K?, I was told by a lexus technitian that the recommended timming belt change indicated in our owner manuals and repair manuals were never alterred when they introduced VVT-i, VVT-i puts more strain on the belt thus causing it to wear out more rapidly, yes you can wait as long as you want, but the price of not replacing a 50 doller belt can run you over 1k in damages. Ive heard of timming belts on the gs-3 braking at 67k and 74k, so if it does brake you have to pay for towing a new timming belt, they would tell you that you should change the serpentine belt with it plus the work. I dont know but I would rather be safe then sorry.
