Bought this car in July '10.
It is a 5speed 03 protege5, about 93k on it
It was making squealing noises when backing up right after starting the car through most of september. One morning it started to sound like a saw so took the car in 2 weeks ago. Engine mount was broken and there was a leak in the power steering fluid line and all the fluid was out. $600 got those fixed, handles a lot better now but it has started squealing again. The line is fine, there is no leak I have checked it. It starts to squeal usually when Im reversing out right after starting the car, and when I turn hard left or hard right (while backing up slowly). No noises during regular driving.
Any suggestions? Could this be the pump? Belt was fine when mechanic inspected it.
Thanks.
