Hello all.... Just a quick question...

When I start the car there is a loude squeaking noise but once the engine is running it's gone. Just started as of today. Is my waterpump going bad or I need to lube my belts? The belts are in very good condition.
What you guys think?

When I called up Toyota they want's $600 to $650 for Waterpump and timing belt change..... Doe the price sound reasonable?

Thanks in advance....

Sounds like you have a loose accessory belt. Have the tension checked before going any further.

If it only happens after a cold start (sitting overnight) then yes agree it's just the belt..

ditto.... belt and or glazing of related pulleys. Check tension replace worn or cracked belt.
