Start up squeeking

[goldstar0011]

When I start my car up from cold or after a resting it squeeks loads, it goes after about 10secs of high revs, what the heck is it?

I think it the pulleys so sprayed them down with WD40 (lots of) but doesn't really help, don't see how it can be the chain either.

Please help, it's embarassing cause it makes it sound like the cars dying and if I rev I sound like I'm trying to show off my loud exhaust.

belt could be old mate or just needs tighting

could be the water pump on the way out...

you don't want to spray the belts with anything or they will squeek even more,
