Re: never ending squeek... (A3GTIVR6)
Is it a pulley squeak? If so, could be any of the accessory pulleys.
But the water pump squeaks / grinds when it begins to fail.

Re: never ending squeek... (A3GTIVR6)
bump for having the same @(&@(*$@ problem. replaced the belt first of all when i got the car. replaced the tensioner assembly back in July. only occurs on a cold start. goes away after a good 1/2 hr of driving or so. super annoying.... took the belt off, spun the pullies individually, the power steering pulley makes a labored sort of noise, every other pulley seems fine. my guess is its the water pump or p/s pulley. btw....does your water pump pulley spin "freely?: cuz you almost have to push that thing along to get it to spin on my car, but no coolant/water leaks, and water temp is normal.

Have you replace the water pump, How many miles on your car ?

I'd take the tension off of the serpentine belt an spin each of the pulleys one at a time to see if one of them is rough and starting to seize up.
Aslo check if the water pump pulley is wobbling (even though it was just replaced). My car made this noise recently and it was the water pump going.
