I have a 2001 solara. It makes a loud squealing noise, when the car is cold is really bad. I had the water pump changed. It noise doesn't change when i turn the wheel, but does stop some when i put it in gear. Once the car is warm(2 minutes or so) the noise stops. Could it be my power steering pump? please help. Thanks. Answer: Sounds like you have a loose alternator belt. When you first start a car it uses power from the battery and the alternator initally has to work a little harder to charge the battery back up. If the alternator belt is loose it will squeal until the battery charges up.  Could be who ever changed the water pump didn't tighten up the belt or the belt tensioner is weak.
