Same here. I had my water pump blow and tensioner shredded, smoke all over the place. Had the water pump replaced and belts, thermostat, now i get the squeaking when starting and turning off, this happened straight after the work was done. Its not constant its only for a split second when you start up and when the engine is shutting down.

I had none of this before pump ,pullies, belts where replaced.
Im in for a service tomorow and ive told the mechanic to try and resolve it as they are the same guys who done the repair.

Apart from that the car has no issues and dosent seem to be affecting the performance of the car.

All fingers point to either belts or pullies.
