Problem for BMW 2000 3 Series

Squealing from engine area...




By elmathison on Jul 03, 2009

" "
My water pump went out, so we replaced that. The next day we discovered the power steering pump had also gone out!! Replaced that. then the pulley tensioner started making a squealing noise, so we replaced that...by now I'm up to around $500 for parts and labor!! It's squeals only when giving it gas, let my foot off the gas and the squeal goes away. I've heard of trying belt dressing, will try and find some. any one have any other ideas?? As I'm currently unemployed and a recent widow, I'm almost at my wits end!
