My car is squealing, the engine squeals when its turned on and when its turned off it then drones out eventually.

its had the cam belt and pulleys changed, my local garage rang vauxhall but no-one can figure it out. All air intake has been checked.

Have you any ideas please?
Thank you

Possibly a lose serpentine belt. Push on the belt in the center of the longest run between pulleys. It should not deflect more than 1 inch with moderate pressure. Also check the belt for cracks.
