so my 09 corolla has 39,000 miles and already has a bunch of problems

, first i had coolant spray and then a dry noise combined with squealing while at idle with my foot on the brake (this only happens while on drive), ive had the drive belt, water pump, and idler pully replaced and while the dry sounding noise is gone i still have that annoying ass squealing while my foot is on the brake. however, as soon as i turn the a/c on the noise is gone

so yea any thoughts?

thanks in advance

May i ask where you bought your car...and is it still under warranty (did you buy extended warranty) i ask bc i'm also from jersey

i got it certified used over at hudson toyota (in jersey city) and no, it just has the 60,000 mile limited powertrain waranty

i would never take my car to anything "HUDSON" lol..i previously owned a vehicle from that dealer and i constantly took my car to that facility..next time i suggest you take it to East Coast Toyota in the Meadowlands. Usually i get fast service..and a curtesy car when it comes to warranty work..beats waiting 6 hours at hudson toyota i bet

its still not as bad as parkway toyota they told me nothing was wrong lol

;nevertheless it sucks to wait i figured after they replaced the pulley and water pump my car would be all fixed i wonder if this noise would just go away on its own its anoying as hell

I think they put in a new one when I got the car, everything in the engine bay is stock (for now lol)

Lemon law (in PA at least) is the same problem happening 3 times, or a car being out of use in service for 30 days or more. Here is a link to a NJ statute. I did not read yours, but I do not think you qualify.

still, do you guys know what this could be? is this squealing noise normal or will it go away? could it be the AC pulley and/or compressor?

Tough if not impossible to diagnose this over the internet. Get a length of hose or mechanics stethescope and listen to each belt driven accessory until you can pinpoint which one is making the noise.

lol yea that's true, I figured it could have to do with the AC since when I turn it on the noise stops
