car makes a sound - Toyota Yaris Forums

my car makes a skweeking/whining/chirping sound when i start it up but goes away. It sounds like the belt but i'm not sure. Any idea on what it may be?

yea it only tends to do it after it rains or in this weather and i didn't know if it was normal

if the noise goes away very fast and it only happens the first startup on a wet day dont worry about it.other wise tighten the belt.

mines actually does the same thing. it sounds like it is squeaking and then it goes away. i'm actually going to have the belt inspected soon to see what it is. =-/

lol strange you put this up, i just had the dealer look at this issue a few days ago. pretty much it's just the weather that's doing it. the moisture, cold, etc. I wouldn't really worry about it. if it turns BAD, you'll know when the time is right to get it checked out.
