Well check the serpentine belt first, it shouldn't be rubbing on anything, check that it's in there right. If that's OK, I reckon the timing belt is rubbing something.

^^:iagree:

What's up Gls,
Just a thought, you just replaced the water pump, and you didn't say that it was squeeling before that. My guess is that whomever replaced the pump replaced the belts a bit too tightly. I've never heard of a timing belt squeeling. If the timing belt is installed improperly the car would not run smoothly.
