Hello, I have a Fiat Idea 1.4 Petrol..... Sometimes when I start the car I get a loud Whining noise from the area of the alternator (as you look at the engine top left) the belts are great and the noise happens for about 30 seconds then gets less and goes completely. Then it might happen a week later so its not every time I start. The car is not in gear and the clutch is not depressed it just after the first start of the day... any ideas would be very helpful do you think its the water pump? thanks in advance

hi, probably the belt that drives the alternator;)
 
Is there a significant other person anywhere nearby when the bonnet is up?
 
They need to stop whining
Every time the bonnet is up.
 
Is cam belt due for change?
