Chirping noise from belt area, only for first 5 minutes

I have done extensive searching in the forums for this issue, and while it seems to be widely experienced, the suggested fixes are all over the place: TSB 10-035 (replace air compressor bolts with thicker ones), replace belt and tensioner, heat shield bolt, etc. I have exactly the noise as the video posted in another thread:


Does anyone have experience with this issue, and what the actual fix that worked for you was?

troubleshoot!!!! as it can be anything...thus why fixes are all over the place cuz it MIGHT not be the same problem!!!

you're going to need to take off the accessory belt to troubleshoot. if noise ceases to exist, its the belt or one of the pulleys

How long can the car safely be run without the belt installed?

Also, if I am thinking about this correctly, if the noise goes away without the belt installed it could still be the AC compressor belt issue or the heat shield bolt issue.

As long as you don't need your alternator, it can run as long as the battery has juice
