squeaking from front drivers side 2002 172

[sum-dj]

as in the title, i have a 2002 172.
when i start it up and drive, there's a squeak that sounds like its coming from my front suspension on drivers side. doesn't do it when i go over bumps but if i press on and off the accelerator quickly it does it all the time. obviously i don't drive round kangarooing but the noise always happens when i do and a lot of the time if i don't.
any ideas?

oh... how much will that cost? and shouldnt it have been done when i got my timing belt done?

Not by default it should have been replaced but unless the garage were instructed too they won't just change it!!

I had my dephaser and cambelt changed and they didn't do my aux belt that squirked and schirped when I was driving it slow

So I went to Adam at Wolverhampton renault and bought an aux belt kit for around 50 quid and spent an afternoon replacing it!!! (which is fun)

As for Labour costs at a garage I don't know

Hope this helps
