loud squealing is pissin me off

idk what belt it is but when i turn the car on the squealing starts and i have to rev the car for the squealing to leave. once im driving it squeals for a few seconds then it leaves and when i stop a stop light is starts to squeal again till i drive off then it stops. fml !!!

how can i fix this? i dont have money to spare on a mechanic who can fix it in 10 mins when i can do it if its not hard.

take off your accessory belts one by one and see if its any of them. check your PS fluid as well

make sure your crankshaft pulley isnt wobbling as well. its on the left side. mine was squealing bad and wobbling, got a new pulley and its wobbling again and my crankshaft is hitting the sh1tter so i need a new engine. but yours probably just needs replacing if its the CS pulley causing the squeal

make sure its not your crankshaft pulley wobbling first, if she comes off youre not going anywhere. it will throw off the other accessory belts and in rare cases throw the timing belt off and there goes your engine. i didnt think it was possible but its happened to a few people with VG's

do u have any pics of that pulley cuz i dont know which one it is . i never changed a belt so i wouldnt know where to start. my father said its a loose belt but idk and all the belts were change 2 years ago so i know their not old. the meachanic prolly didnt tighten something tight enough im guessing and i became loose over time. if u show me a pic ill tell u if its wobbly

best i can do, theres no good pics on Google and i cant get a pic of mine cause the cars in the garage. its on the left side and looks like this, the round part in the video points towards the rear of the car and the belt goes towards the front. its a pretty noticeable pulley so you should be able to find it

i checked after work and none of the pulleys are wobbly. i pressed down on the belts and the first one one u see i can push down a lil bit and the rest of them are tight to where i cant push them down not even a lil bit.
