1998 Omega 2.0 CD Manual. On startup first thing in morning get a screeching noise from front nearside, sounds like a fast revving electric motor with dry bearings.The noise disappears abruptly after 1 or 2 minutes (you can hear it from inside the cabin!). I'm positive its not the cambelt tensioners, replaced 2000 miles ago. On restarting engine from warm there is no noise, only happens after car has fully cooled down and restarted. What is this motor - some kind of start up pump?. If it fails can I do without it?
