My TL is making squeaking noise from the engine area and sometimes tapping noise when engine is cold.

I read somewhere belt tensioner need to be replaced. Will it fix both tapping & squeaking noise? If anyone had similar issue and fixed it please let me know.

Here is the video of squeaking noise:

Thanks!

I had the same squealing noise but did not have the tapping. Tensioner was the problem. Sorry that I can't help with the tapping.

I know that their is also a TSB on the compressor bolts not being the proper size that causes misalignment of the belt, so you might want to look into that while you are doing/having the belt and tensioner done....I can not recall the TSB number, but a search will track it down for you.

Good luck

Sounds like a bearing going out.
