Mine would squeal quietly on start / cold start. New cambelt / WP and it went away :)

Definitely the tensioner ,  its a well known issue when the belt needs replacing. Replace the cambelt , tensioner and waterpump with oem parts  :happy2:

One thing I will say just for reference, but doesn't seem the case with yours is I have had a problem on my old mk4 where the tensioner was flapping like crazy. You would only here a chirp from the belt when on full look or as the engine loaded up.

I changed the tensioner and it went away for a day or so then came back. Finally found out that it was the alternator pulley. It has a slipper clutch mechanism built into it which had seized.
