Change the oil, make sure it's the correct weight and a synthetic and see if it helps.

My mom has a 2000 1.8T Beetle, about 70k miles, and she says that it's recently developed a high pitch whine/squeak (I've never actually heard it) when first started each morning. It's only the first start of the day and it goes away after about 20-40 seconds. She got the belts replaced which made no difference. I'm wondering what the sound of a turbo's bearings going out is like? Do they squeak until sufficient oil reaches them? Any other ideas of things to check? Thanks! Mark
