I just had my fan belt changed, my car is still screeching when i accelerate on corners and when i take off from standstill especially when i have the heating on.. but i'm also getting a chirping noise which started around the front passenger footwell. Since i had the belt changed it now sounds like it's coming from the drivers foot well.. my steering also feels stiff every now and then especially when i accelerate off from being standstill.. i can feel clicking in my steering wheel also when i slow down to stop.. please help

Sounds like you have a power steering issue and possibly not a belt issue.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

this is normally a belt but the added times that your vehicle is making this noise, it sounds like a pump issue.

We don't have a manual on your vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA but if you want to get a recording of the noise, we can try to help confirm this.
