What is the reason for the squeaking noise when starting the Sagitar in winter?

[LawsonDella]

The reason for the squeaking noise when starting the Sagitar in winter is: the sound from the timing belt. The timing belt is made of rubber, and in cold winter weather, the timing belt becomes stiff and hard, causing some noise when it comes into contact with the timing gears. The noise will disappear once the temperature rises. Taking the 2018 Volkswagen Sagitar as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2018 Volkswagen Sagitar features a front suspension with MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension with multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 116 PS, maximum power of 85 kW, and maximum torque of 175 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
