Re: Lower radiator hose cool/Water pump squeal

What you are probably hearing is the belt Squealing. I have to replace mine every 2 years or it squeals until it gets warm. If you haven't replaced your belt recently, take a look to see if it is cracked etc. if it has been awhile since you replaced it, I'd try putting on a new belt before trying to replace all of the other components.

Try the water thing on the belt and if the noise stops, replace the belt.
