Hi all,
Hoping someone can help advise with this please.
About a year ago I noticed a squealing noise after I started the car which I instinctively just thought 'fan belt' so had that and the timing belt and tensioners (was due) replaced around February. Prior to replacing the alternator belt the garage tried spraying some lubricant of sorts on to quieten it.
In the last month or two it's started squealing loudly again, the noise goes away after about 10 seconds. It's mainly when the car starts from cold in the morning but has done it at times when just starting it during the day even after driving it around shortly before.
It does have a starting issue (different thread) where the coil light comes on and stays on and makes it take two attempts to start it pretty much every time. I assume this has some added drain on the battery meaning that the alternator is automatically adjusting for the extra charge needed for the battery.
Then someone suggests it could be the water pump. I'm now unsure what it's likely to be as I always assume the noise is fan belt...
Someone also suggested a spray you can use on fan belts to prevent slipping?
The battery might not be in peak condition either, it went flat through over use of the fans in the car when the engine wans't running last year but this is probably to be expected.
Any help or thoughts much appreciated :)
