Screechy sound is sign of a belt trouble. Its worn or slack. Have it checked. Sorry I can't help with the price though.

Yes if you only have one belt and that is a serpentine belt then that is your drive belt. Normally a drive belt does not refer to a serpentine belt, it refers to a V belt driving only 1 or possible 2 components.

serpentine belt no timing belt maybe yes know as a interferece engine but the serp.. belt should be fine just replace

yes you will need to replace the belt before you drive anywhere.

Sounds like the serpentine belt is slipping and perhaps struggling to turn pullies.. this would result in horrid squealling noises especially in cold damp weather and loss of power steering ability when A/C is on

(A/C on equals extra strain on the belts grip, when turned off the A/C pulley spins freely hence less strain)

No such thing as a "starter belt". If they are refering to the belt that routes around the alternator, part of the power supplying system...then yes. But, this is only if you have 2 seperate belts. A serpentine belt is one entire belt that routes over all of the pulleys. Easy way to check, look at your belt. If you see one, it's a serpentine. If you see two, you have accessory belts. But, you should have a serpentine belt....1 belt.

Your motor has one belt, a serpentine...

Does this noise occur as the engine is cranking over to start, and as it just start up? It's probably the belt slipping on the pulleys. If the belt is original, or showing any cracks and splits, replace it. Keep the starter. countrycurt0
