What could be causing a squeaking noise on my car?
I drive an 02 plate Astra 1.7DTi .. When the car has been running for a while a squeaking noise occurs when I accelerate, usually from 40mph upwards. It’s more of a squeak than a squeal and is more prominent after the car has been running a while. It doesn’t seem to affect the car’s performance too much, if at all, so I’m assuming maybe it’s a belt problem?

Certainly sounds like a belt problem. If you have too many “high load” electrical circuits on (heater fan etc) this can cause the belts to slip

Your fan belt needs adjusting.
