I recently purchased a 1987 Saab 900, 4 door, normally aspirated. I shut it off coming home from work (it was a pretty cold night, but not below 30f I'd say) The next day I started it up and it made a incredibly loud screaming noise (one could say squealing as well). I checked the condition of the belts, they all apear fine, I didn't check the tension though... It seems the noise is coming from the front of the engine, which has me scared since all the moving parts up there are expensive. A few notes about the noise: it makes it wether in gear or not, makes it whether the clutch is engaged or not, and there seems to be no change in loudness or pitch of the noise in any change in the above conditions. PLEASE tell me it's just water on the belts, I live in Oregon, so it's VERY wet here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am only well versed in the workings of the Chevy 350, which the SAAB is, obviously, very different.
