Th cam shaft pulley has to be turning if motor running. Maybe fan is equipped with clutch that is bad.

SOURCE: timing belt/water pump

it sounds like who-ever put it back together again never tensioned your alternator belt properly and thus when its cold you hear squealing. The hum could be the belt rubbing off of the timing belt cover if that was also put on incorrectly i would think.
It would be beneficial to have it all rechecked before driving it again just to be on the safe side.

Check the ECM for codes. Cam or crank sensors will cause a no start. Also there should have been a compression and/or leak down test performed on the engine before the belt was replaced. This is done to make sure that the pistons didn't bend the valves. Bent valves will cause a nostart because of no compression. First check for codes then do a compression test before you replace anything. Let me know

SOURCE: belts sqealing

If you are talking about the harmonic dampener (the big one at the bottom) it IS supposed to be one piece. If the outer part has torn away from the inner then you had better get another one before it flys off and tears something up. NO pulley should just fall off when the belt is taken off.

High pitched engine squeal upon start up, then goes away I'm thinking bad pulley

All though the solutions above are possible, the squeal usually just means one of your belts is getting going bad.

Pop the hood, and turn your belt slightly (the thinner one, not the timing belt) and see if the bottom side is looking 'glazed' or if there are intermittent cracks. You may need a flashlight to determine this.

If the belt is bad, some times you can just loosen the alternator and get the belt off. Some cars require a lot more work. Don't be surprised if the mechanic tries to get you to replace the water pump at the same time when you take the car in to get the belt replaced.

Depending on your financial situation at the time, it may be a good idea to replace the water pump if you have gone 5 years or more on rhe current one.

Hope this helps, all the best to you,
Kerry Hostetter

Squealing noise (LOUD)

You need to check the pulley alignment of all the pulleys, they should all be in a perfectly straight line, otherwise the belt will squeal

Why does my paid off 2000 VW Jetta GLS make a high pitch buzzy grinding sound. Is it the alternator ,transmission,or timing Belts. What do I do and how mauch can it run me. Am I still covered with the

The trick is to take off the belt and spin the different things and see if any of them make the noise you hear.
Water pump, alternator, power steering, air pump, belt tensioner pulley. You could also briefly (30 seconds) run the engine without the belt and see if it still makes the noise.
