Ok so when I start my car up yesterday it just started screeching non stop for like 10 secs. This was without switching on my ac yet. Thought on the cold days it would screech as well just when i turn my ac on after starting my car.

So looking at the previous post i reckon that it is the ac power steering prob which the part number im looking at is 6PK1080. Does it matter if its a GPX or its same across the board?

Is there anything else I should be looking for ie tensioners pulleys etc??

Also just wondering does these screeching noise have to do with my timing belt being stuffed as well?

Mine does the same thing especially when cold most likely the ac belt or alt belt.Dont think it would be the timing belt,however if its the tensioners or pulleys the noise would be constant like i had on my van which ended up costing over 2k to fix but there are different makes and models.

replace alt and powersteer belts problem gone

arent both of them using the same belt or I need to get 2 sets...just bought one off Repco today.

alt is one belt and p/s and air con is other belt

Cheers mate thanks for your help

Just one more thing, the altenator belt is the same part number as the ac/power steering one rite??

na they are different, check out dstocks own completefto site for part numbers

4PK940 for Alternator, 6PK1080 for AC & PS.

If it's not the belt then it could be the alt's tensioner pulley.

Thanks a lot guys
