What a coincidence! I too have been plagued by that squeal for the whole month of December. First I thought it was the belts so I sprayed WD-40 on them to no avail. Then when I turned the steering column a hard right and left at idle the squeal increased quite substantially. I checked the steering fluid and it was down. Topped it up and then the next day it seemed to be fine. But two days later the same squeal is back with a vengeance. And the squeal disappears once the engine is warmed up. If it is the harmonic pulley and not the serpentine belt then why such an increase in sound when the car is pulled hard right or left?
Should I replace both the pulley and the belt?
