    really don't know about Laguna set-ups but I had an old Ibiza where the squealing disappeared when I adjusted the Alternator to tighten the Fan-Belt.

    is the squealing during acceleration??

    the fan-belt is tight, it occurs from the minute the engine is switched on to the minute its swithced off

    Does it vary with engine speed? Or does it just have a constant noise?

    I wouldn't drive the car until i new where the sound was coming from, just in case it was the water pump or the timing belt idler about to give up :eek:

    Have you checked that its not coming from any of the auxiliaries running off the engine? eg a bad bearing in the alternator / PS pump / AC compressor?? You can usually test this by putting a long screw driver on the part and up to your ear.

    I assume this laguna has the water pump behind the timing belt, so you could remove the fan / aux belt as a quick test to see if the noise goes away?

    It's most likely alternator belt pulley on the alternator...
