Squeaking sound...
Alright when I start my car there is a squeaking sound that gets worse as you hit the accelerator and then quiets down a bit until hard acceleration... is this my water pump giving out?

Changed the bearing in the idler pulley... still making sound so we sprayed the belt with lubricant and the squeaking went away and then came back... but the belt is brand new!!!
here is the weird part... without the A/C on the squeak is louder and when you turn on the A/C the squeal either goes away (unless under hard acceleration) or is not as loud

So what's the verdict? What was it. My car overheat badly the other day and ever since, I hear a loud squeak too. Maybe I should replace the idler pulley first before changing out the water pump. Might just do the old mechanic trick and grab a hose...have one end on my ear and the other end scanning different components
