every since I got my sepentine belt changed it has squeaked ! I took it back to Jiffy Lube, and they put some kind of belt dressing on. it worked for a while and stopped squeaking until I turned my car off and started it back up, now it is sqeaking louder !
they say it may be a pulley, or the alternator bearings going out...but if this was true would the noise stop sometimes, and come and go, or would it be non-stop ? I noticed that the noise goes at way sometimes at idle, but is always there at start up...sometimes it squeaks all day !
what could it be..??

sounds like to me that if you have the right serpentine belt on that your belt tensioner pulley could be giving out. don't buy the alternator bearing story. what i have done on occasion is to move the tensioner pulley back and forth for awhile to make sure it is moving freely. you could buy some %26quot;belt dressing%26quot; and spray it on the underside of the belt for a quick fix. if it keeps sqeeking you might need a new belt tensioner pulley.

sounds like a loose alternator belt, have someone tighten it.
water pump going-OUT.
It could be the belt dressing they put on causing the belt to slip. It could also be the cam synchronizer, water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley.
Second answer is a good answer - what you might also check is to turn on your defroster - then turn it off - and see if that makes any difference. if it does it could be your a/c compressor - The clutch plate could be wore and/or your compressor may be going out. The air conditioning system works in the winter time any time the defrost is used to keep the oil circulating in the system. hope this helps. good luck
