My wife told me Fri nite that there was a whistling noise coming from the car. It was late, so I decided to check on it Sat morn.
She wan't kidding, the damn thing screams when you open the hood. Everything is so covered you can see a damn thing. It sounds to me like the noise is coming from the one of the items connected to the belt.
The car, a H6, has only 13000 miles on it. Can a bearing be shot Is it an idler, if it has one? How can I tell?
The RPMs remain high after start-up. I suspect that a lot of HP is going into driving something. I'm afraid to drive it the 10 miles to the dealer as something may seize up. In the oid cars with multiple belts, if something seized up, that drive belt would break, and you could proceed unless it was the water pump.
Anybody else have a similar problem? Any ideas? I'm way under the warranty period. Would this be covered?
