Unidentifiable squeaking.
I’m stumped. My Acura TSX 2006 has an annoying squeaking coming from belt tensioner area. I changed the alternator about a year ago, the power steering pump a few months ago and the belt tensioner yesterday, the serpentine belt I swapped out when I changed the power steering pump and this morning it was still squeaking. It was much less loud but still definitely squeaking. Normally it squeaks when I start it up and fades after driving for a little while. Also the longer my car is off the louder the squeaking is. I’m baffled at this point. I read in a separate thread that it might be related to the heat shield. Heat shield is rattling when idling but I know it’s just a bolt I need to tighten.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I had a squeaking problem ever since I did the timing belt job, where I also replaced the drive belt. A good 5000 miles or so. Watch this video. It might help.
For me, it ended up being the drive belt. As the video recommended, I got a Gatorback and boom - quiet as can be. I don't know if I've ever had a "belt-train" this quiet before. I can hardly even tell when the AC compressor kicks on.
