1995 300tdi 5 door Auto

Got a budgie style squeaking constant from when engine is started and gets faster when I accelerate

Had a nose on forum and tried penny trick although it seems not to be getting worse when accelerating its still there. What else can it be ? thanks

There is a picture and instructions if you do a search. Stops the squealing.
