Sorry to hear about that! With that said, that's the #1 reason why I bought the Bentley Service Manual and a lot of tools that I still have not used. I just don't like strangers touching my engine. :-)

It sounds like something needs to be lubricated. What's the engine oil level looking like? Did the surgeon forget to remove all the tools before he sewed up the patient?

Good luck!

It could be anything. It sounds like a someone put some cards and a clothes pin in there somewhere. Does the noise fluctuate with rpm's? It could be that a bearing is defective now that the belt was changed perhaps it was getting ready to fail. I's really hard to say without isolating where the noise is coming from...

the rpm are not fluctuating
the belt was change 4 months ago
2 days ago they change the belt tensioner pulley ..and then the noise come
if the idler pulley is the one right below the alternator..they say they will change that to..
tomorrow is the day i go to pick my car ..
the only question is...what make them offer to change the alternetor and the idler pully for FREE????
wonder if they fucked up something..and then they realise it..and want to make up for it?
no dealer offer something for free

we"ll see what happen tomorrow
