Just had this now, was the oil dipstick not pushed in properly

Engine oil cap/dipstick is not closed properly

all seem to be fine with the caps and dipsticks yet its still squeeling every cold start :/

If it's squealing on start up then you will need to change the aux belt and tensioner. Straightforward DIY.

Have the belts been changed? Still sounds like the dipstick to me! Or oil cap as Legend@wheels also suggested. Would still try unplugged/replugging those again first.

If you hear it only in cold start then its not what i mentioned( what i said you would hear always.) check when last time belts changed

the belts were changed early at about 30,000 and its now on 65,000 so its a possibility it could use a aux belt, getting it in for a ball joint next week so will ask the garage to have a look! thanks for your help guys

More than likely, they may not have changed the aux belt with the cam belt.
