replace the belt? sounds like its either worn or isnt tensioned enough

tensioner or belt :thumbs:

might even be the power-steering pulley - had that on my 320d.

Hi

Depends on what kind of squeal, when turning either full left or right then its the belt.

But check your water pump if its a consistent squeal even when you driving in a straight line.

 

[ET was here]

back in the good old days a koekie green sunlite soap, let the belt run over the soap, instantly the belt squeel goes away

if the sqeel stays, then it is the tensioners or a component like water pump, aircon pump, or steering pump

Had the same, I just removed the belt and put it back again and the squeal was gone. Took like 5 minutes. It was maybe not seated properly or the tensioner adjusted a bit.

A squirt of water on the belt. If the noise goes away temporarily then replace the belt. If it doesnt remove the belt and check each pulley. Dont wait. Do this quick. For a cheap part you could be stranded.

sounds to me like the tensioner is on its way out... mine used to do the exact same thing... paid around 1700 from Goldwagen...
