Screeching at cold startup

Its been frequent days below zero here. My car is garaged but it's still very cold.

Just noticed that on the odd occasion, when i start the car, I hear a loud screeching sound. It goes away immediatly the car is started. No warning lights show. Car starts always 1st time. No smoke. Idles perfectly. Just a real loud screem for about 2 seconds. It seems to happen only when the car is cold.

It happens occasionally and not always. in fact I have tried many times to record the sound but it just refuses to screech when I want to record it :huh:

Any ideas what it could be?

Yea I thought belt too but it only had a service 2 months back (3k miles).

you would think they checked the belts. Where is the air pump. Is this something i should be worried about?

It's going in for its 2nd RMS in a few weeks so I will get them to check it then. Just thought maybe you would know what it would be.

Cheers,

Berny

If you're close enough to Goodison it could still be the sound of Ronaldo after Wayne's tackle...!

One question. does the car screech on start up if it's hot? If not it might indicate a slipping belt
