Terrible Screetching Noise from the Engine.. Embarrasing!
Looked up a few posts about this but want to make this official.... Happens sometimes, like 3 times a week now. whenever i start my car it starts screetching so loud that the car sounds like a piece of SH*T!
Are my Belts Loose? A few posts said this but how do i tell if they are loose? I just had the serpentine (spelling?) belt replaced but not the other one.
I dont know how to fix this noise, what is it, i dont even know if it is the belts, but the noise sounds like an old car that is crying for help! it just gets soo loud thats its unbearable and then it just disappears after 30 secs!
If anyone can help me out that would be great, i dont want to take it to the stealership and tell them all this and watch that it starts up fine.
2003 touring with 80,000 miles on her!

for a quick fix, take a bar of soap and hold against the underside of the belt while the engine is running for a few seconds, takes away the noise, but it's just a temporary fix.
