It may just need to be tightened. Does the belt look cracked or shiny and glazed from slipping? If so it should be replaced.

Re: Noisy, squeeky belt when not warmed up.
I literally just fixed this exact problem on my car today. My belts were just a little too loose. I read in a some thread here that being able to give them 1/4 of a turn is about the right tension.
In my case, the belts were brand new, and I think they may have just stretched out and broken in a little bit. Anyways, hopefully, the answer will be that simple for you! There is a good how-to in the Alternator section that illustrates where the bolt is you need to tighten. Good luck!

Agreed.... inspect then tighten that belt up. It takes maybe 5 minutes and will be maybe the easiest thing you ever do under the hood of an SVX

Re: Noisy, squeeky belt when not warmed up.
I have the same problem, but I seem to be missing that bolt. Does anyone know which part # it is?
