Hi got a 1.4 engine.. imagine you just opened bonnet, the big belt looking right at you i think its the tming belt? not too sure anyway sqeeks a bit spray with wd40 and its ok for a day then starts again.. think it needs replacing?
thats the fanbelt you can see it will be slipping on the tensioner or an idler pulley,best thing would be to change asap with full kit- belt tensioner and any idler pulleys,
unsure what the belt position is on the 1.4 but u gotta watch sometime when fan belt goes it will take out your cambelt and ENGINE
have a search ''fan belt problems'' and you will find as much info and posts as you want lol
It's the auxiliary belt, runs the power steering, alternator, and A/C if fitted. Your right, it's slipping or a noisy idler bearing, change the complete kit and you will be alright again, You should be ok to diy it if you are handy with basic car maintainance.
