SeaCoupe is reaching 200k miles - maintenance needed
So, my trusty counterpart is reaching a milestone. While I'd like nothing more than to give her a complete wash, wax, and photo session, I have some maintenance items that need attention.
I have a pretty bad squeal that comes on cold starts. I'm sure it is from the belt. It seems like after the car stops using the cold air injection it goes away. Occasionaly it comes back when I make a stop and then take off. Errr. Everytime I go to take a look it does the inevitable...It won't make the noise.
Any thoughts?

Usually that the belt tensioner or pulley....
not sure which since I did both at once, some 75K miles ago...
I'm getting it again, but not worrying about it yet.
Have bigger issues right now....see my other thread.
