Sounds like the belt tensioner chirping. You need to poke around the engine compartment and try to get close to the area of the sound.....left, right, lower, upper portion of the engine compartment? I see the gauge, do you have a supercharger? Could be that as well.

It's very simple to post YouTube Videos in forum threads. First open a post text box and then click on the link icon among the various icons at the top of the box:


Once you click on the Icon you will get another entry box that looks like this:


Copy your YouTube video link and paste it into the URL box:


That gets you this display when the post is submitted:

What did you ever find out? Thought for sure it would have been the tensioner.
