Squeaking noise, Serpentine Belt or Pulley?
My 2008 IS250 started making a squeak/chirping noise in the last 3 days. It has 130K miles and I replaced the waterpump with an OEM one at 115K so I dont believe thats the issue but I cant tell if its one of the pulleys going bad or if its just the belt. I notice my tensioner pulley has a little play and I'll try to upload a vid but its making the same noise as this youtube vid I found but his issue seemed to be the waterpump. Anyone able to pin point the issue? I dont really feel like spending money on parts that wont fix the issue. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

mines doing the same as of this weekend.
Spray some water on the belt and see if it shuts up for a few seconds, if it goes quiet, it's the belt.
If she still keeps on chirping it's the pulley.
I'm hoping mine is just the belt, I'm on 90,000km's meaning it's due for another change.
