Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Squealing noise when car starts

    When I start the car when it's warm or cold it makes a squealing noise. I think it might be the timing belt but I am not sure. Any suggestion?

    It's one of the accessory belts. The timing belt will never squeal. It has ribs so that it doesn't slip unlike the accessory belts.

      The timing belt won't squeal.

      OP, look for acc belts, then check for bearings.

            There was another post in here and I had it quoted. It "disappeared" but my comment didn't

            I edited it, but not in time. You are correct.

                Where should I look at to find the belt or where is it located

                  It's one of the belts you can see as soon as you open your hood. AC/Alternator or Power Steering.

                  They may be too loose, too tight, or simply too old. If you don't know what you're doing to replace them, it's not an overly expensive thing to have done by a professional.

                      Mine does it too, right on start up for like a second.

                      Does your car have ac?
                      If not it is power steering.

                        Belt is just loose or worn.

                        Try adjusting it first. Visually inspect it for cracks, abnormal wear or other defects. If it looks pretty ratty, replace it.

                        The noise a timing belt will make is ugly.

                          how old is your timing belt? if you're worried about it I'm assuming it needs to be changed?
