Since the weather has turned to the cold I have been hearing this noise.

When I start my car I hear a loud high pitch squeal. The noise continues sometimes throughout the drive for about 10 minutes, but for the most part it will stop when I get out on the road.

Someone in a parking lot heard the sound and suggested that it may be an issue with one of my pumps, but I have no idea.

Could it be a belt sound you hear? Here is a little test. With the engine running, pour a small amount of water on the belt to see if the sound changes. If it does, it is coming from the belt.

NOTE: Because water can fling back at you, make sure to protect your eyes and wear old clothes.

Let me know what you find.
