My Lancer squeals when it is started after sitting for a while. It only seems to do it when it is cold outside. My mechanic sprayed a silicone spray on the belts and it only helped a few times. Also, when I put the car in gear, it squeaks (only when it is not warmed up) Please help, thanks!

Hi there',

The spray is a waist of time, replace the belts and re tension correctly, this will solve your problem.
