Re: screeching 200 q when starting

["Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@email.msn.com>]

    My car makes train whistle noise when first started and cold out.  It
sounds like the alternator possibly.  It is a whirring noise, but rather
loud, and if I accellerate the noise sounds exactly like a train whistle.
The second the tach hits 2,000 rpm the noise goes away, just stops.  Then if
I let the throttle down and rev again it makes the train whistle noise.  The
only belt that is old is the A/C belt, and it is OLD.  All the other belts
have 15,000 miles on them.  The noise happens in any gear, neutral, drive...
I wonder what that noise is?  I wonder when the water pump was last
replaced.

Thanks!
