my idler pulley was squealing in cold weather. it is the original factory (metal) part.
you can check the bearing in it. take the pulley off and carefully pry out the grease seal. mine was dry and making a squealing/whistling noise. repacked with grease=noise gone.
i had also replaced the tensioner because i thought that was making the sound. the old tensioner (also original) was shot. the spring in it didn't work at all...
hope this helps ....
