Default Re: Problem with belt, noise from Engine bay (videos)

See, you got the same answer here you got on Facebook, except that I told you over there that you could gently drive the car to the garage and a more cautious and experienced Rob told you not to!

Keep in mind, at just over 100,000 miles my belt tensioner and idler puller were dying. I'd change all three items, the pulley is like $15 and the tensioner was only around $120. They'v got to dig in there anyway, the labor shouldn't be much more - but if you need to take it back in six months, the labor will hit you harder.

Crank pulley? Probably a good idea to take a look at that as well, tho I'd not have thought of it.
