Sounds like a drive belt or tensioner, get it checked or it may cause a severe failure and you may lose power steering or worse !

[john_k_sri]

Auxiliary belt?

[cosmic]

Quite possibly, once had this go on an old 1.7tdi and it wrecked:
water pump, belts (3), pulleys (2), tensioner, crankcase housing and metal housing mechanism !!!

Does sound like a tensioner has siezed either exposed on the drive belt or possibly internal on the timing belt, like others advise, take great care and have it checked ASAP

[rochey]

ill get it into my nephew asap then its not a bad squeal but i know its there

[kman247]

Does it get worse if you turn on the aircon?

[rochey]

noise gone just went away so i then just sprayed all around that area with gt 85 as an added extra
