Thanks Steve I guess it's a new water pump then. Needs to be done regardless I'd imagine been awhile hopefully solves the squealing.

The flywheel was not the problem. I replaced it, and still had the squeak. After spending more time under the car while an assistant revved it, I think it's coming from the left hand cam sprocket area.

Sorry to hear you still have the squeal. Have you considered it could be the water pump? Like I said earlier I have the same problem exact same sound as your video. Changed the serpentine belt and checked all pulleys still squeals. The shop that did it stated it seems to be the water pump but I didn't wanna pay to change it yesterday as they said its not leaking.

Curious if anybody else has noticed a squeal before changing water pump?? Seems to be quiet until car warms up as well.
