3.0L Engine Noise
Has anyone had a problem with their engine making noises? My engine is making a whining noise. Its not the intake, that makes a vaccuum sucking sound... dunno any suggestions?
I'm taking the car in next week to get it checked, but I was hoping someone else could tell me what the problem might be.

That mysterious humming sound in the engine bay is a worn out bearing between the alternator and the air-conditioning. The good news is the alternator will be replaced by warranty but the bearing might not be. The bearing is not listed as a major component so i might have to pay for it. The bearing is approx $70.00 cdn but the service manager is gonna try to pull strings and include the bearing with the alternator warranty, hope he can pull it off. I'm getting it done on thursday i post the outcome.

Are there still 1st gens out there under warranty? This should be the lastyear for the factory warranties.
