Squeaking/squealing cold-start....
Greetings,
Recently I have been experiencing a squeaking/squealing sound which I believe to be a pulley and/or belt issue. The sound is only heard on cold-starts. I placed some belt lubricate to test it and the noise only got worse, it lasted for maybe 10 minutes then finally went away.
I took it to AutoZone to try and get a quick diagnose but they denied my efforts as my CEL wasn't on. My 2005 C230K Sedan has roughly 98K miles and I have never changed the idler pulley, nor any pulley except the a/c compressor 2 years ago. I'm not too sure when the last time the belt was replaced either.
I added a video clip to help solve the issue. Thank you very much for viewing!

I certainly did which is exactly what the video entails. I was hoping someone may have had this issue before so I could pin-point the problem rather start replacing unnecessary parts.
