Smile Chirp from which belt?

Hello all,

This is my first post.

I have just purchased my first used volvo D3 2013 Auto SE Lux (136 bhp)

Really like the 5 cylinder engine reminds me of TD5 I once had. Hope it doesn't leak as much haha.

I will dive straight in.

In this really hot weather I noticed that when I start car I get a slight chirp for about 3 seconds around belts area. I had the timing belt changed before I purchased and I can see that serpentine belt has been changed as it a gates unique fir. The a/c belt i reckon is original as it has volvo on it.

It doesn't chirp again unless left for a few hours in sun then it will chirp again then? The only other thing is that if I go over aa speed bump quite fast on the drivers side I can hear a similar sound chirp only for a second so I was wondering if it judders belt for a second.

Anyway it's a fantastic car last car was a
Kia Sportage 2012 had a few more whistles but V60 is a proper car I feel.

Thanking you all in advance

I hope to be of service to you all too.

Many thanks 😀
