There's a loud squeaky noise coming from the engine when the car starts. It's there when the car is stationary and goes after around 5 seconds. We hear it when the car is stationary at traffic lights too and it goes as the car speeds up. Seems to be coming from the belt area on the left hand side of the car engine as you stand in front of it. Any ideas?

Check belt tension and driven components-could be bearing problems
