Squeak only at cold start.. timing belt?
On a cold start there is a noise comming from the motor which sounds like a squeak, i know this is a common problem but im not aware of what it means. Timing belt wearing loose, or too tight?

ive never heard of a timing belt sqeaking, even if worn. the sqeak youre hearing is most likely from the alternator belt, either tighten it or replace it.

A squeaking belt means it's slipping.... If you have a slipping timing belt, you've got an engine that no longer runs. Now, if the bearings on the timing belt Idler pulley were going out, that's a different story. Check the alternator belt first.
