Default Squeak/squeal

Just after some advice please, upon starting the car from cold I get a squeal/squeak from the engine bay it goes once warm but stays when turning the wheel left or right etc am I right in thinking it's either the fan belt or maybe power steering? How do I rectify it?

Will be 1 of the belts, does the steering wheel judder on full lock.
Takes 5 minutes to do, just adjust the belt

Regards Dan

Dan is right it is the belt making them noise. In Poland its a common issue due to the cold winter and high difference between temperatures

It can be done done very easy, adjust the alternator so it takes up any slack, you should see a tensioner that you loosen move the alternator slightly then tighten up
Job done

replaced both belts last week power steering/alternator and aircon belts. mine were squeeling and juddering at full lock. when I looked at them the power steering/alternator belt was down to the wire and ready to snap. 15 mins to change both
