I hear squealing when the car starts...what is it?
#2
If it happens once the car starts but immediate goes away then its nothing. Just cold starting that's it. My drive belts are brand new and it does that. It never comes back until the car sits for about more than 2 days

This is a starter issue. The grease in the starter has hardened and it squeeks. It happened on mine and I replaced the starter and the noise went away. Do a search (I'm to lazy to find it myself) and there is a write up on how to take your starter apart and regrease it. (I think it's in one of the Sticky posts...)

www.motorvate.ca has the writeup on repacking starter grease.

dont think its the starter off the bat, if her car has an ajustable pully like our maximas then you need to try and tighten up the tensioner, i had the same problem and i changed my belts and still had the same problem. But then i thought about it and tighten the crap out of the tensioner and now it makes no noise

Exactly, its the samething with mines. Its just a quick squeal on start up and thats it, its over and done I don't hear from it until the car has be sitting for 4 days at best.
