My brother drives a Mazda protege, and he brought it in to have the timing belt changed a few weeks ago. Anyways about a week after he got it back he started hearing this screeching sound when he turned on the car. Now its even worse. The car has this screeching sound when it idles/at low rpms, and then it goes away. It sounds like a belt is rubbing against something, but were not really sure. Anyway he's gonna bring it back to the shop and make em fix it, but were both kinda curious whats causing it. Any ideas?
