1992 Mazda MX3 mileage: 154,000. My car makes this loud squealing noise when I start it and then it stops. I was told it was my air conditioner belt, but I had it looked at and it wasn't worn so they put some belt dressing on it and it stopped, for awhile. Now it's squealing even worst even when I'm just stopping at a red light. What should I do?

You need to replace the air-conditioner belt. Once a belt starts to squeal the sides of the belt glaze over and no adjusting or treatment will permanently stop the squealing.
