For real?

I would start with a belt but it sounds like you have a dry bearing in one of the pulleys, on the front of the engine.

LOL i dont have turbo or supercharger

@navin thanks i read the CDesign post and its exactly like what i have. Sometimes i get slight jerks when i step on the car and i also get this increased immision light randomly. The only bad thing is that i dont have warranty anymore.

+1. I would even add that it could be a tensioner pulley bearing.
