Ok, I know I post a lot but I feel like my 3 always has something come up on it. haha But anyways, a couple weeks ago, i was driving down the road and all I could hear was squealing. It sounded like a huge truck falling apart. Whenever I would turn my steering to the right, the pitch went higher but turning it to the left, the noise went away. It stopped the next day. But since then, whenever I let the car sit for awhile, whenever I brake it squeals as if it needs to be oiled up. I know its not the typical damp squeak in the morning cause I experienced it before. But only when its really cold out. Until I drive a bit and it doesnt squeal anymore.
I know its not the best description but just thought I would give it a shot if any of you have some sort of idea. My mechanic said its probably moisture but I'm not to convinced...

Thanks guys

124K. It might be time for it. haha It's going in on Thursday for transmission flush so I'll ask my mechanic to take a look at the belts as well.

I just changed mine at 144km, wasn't noisy but definitely over due. Lots of cracking on the inside of the belt. I would do it proactively if your at 124km.
