For past week I've noticed a squeeling-type noise coming from the engine when I turn the engine off. My initial guess is it could be a belt, but I really have no idea, and it could be anything. My biggest concern is timing belt problems since I know my car is overdue. I'm making an appointment for it asap, and hopefully getting it in, in a week or two.

The thing is I don't hear any squeeling or anything when driving the car/idiling. Only when I shut the car off I hear the noise as the engine is stopping--and it just doesn't sound good, so I don't want to ignore it. Any ideas?

Car is: 1995 accord EX. 130k. Last known belt changes: at least 60k ago, could be way more.

THANKS!

 

Just visually look at your serpentine belts. Do they look worn? The serpentine belts are very easy to replace.
