I had the timing belt, a/c belt and fan belt all replaced a couple of months ago. As soon as it started getting cold, when I start my car I get a loud squealing noise from under the hood. After several seconds, this stops. What causes this?

Hi klaudicina,

Thank you for the donation.

The AC or Alternator belt has not been properly adjusted. You need to check the tension and adjustment.
