Hey guys,

Whenever the car is in drive or reverse, there is a squeaky/chirping noise that comes from the engine. The noise goes away as soon as I put the car in park or neutral.

Any ideas?

 

serpentine belt tensioner perhaps? need more description of the noise.

 

If it is chirping noise, it can be the drive belt and the tensioner/or both pulleys (i changed all that and it did not help) or it is the heat shield but the exhaust has to be dropped in order to change

 

I mean i don't know how much more specific I can get. It's a small chirping noise lol. Only happens when in drive or reverse. You can only hear it when idling. When i'm actually driving, I don't hear anything. I will try to post a video tomorrow.

 

Sorry for the late reply - here's the video.




It's a bit hard to hear but at 8 seconds, I put the car into neutral and you hear the noise go away, then I put it back into drive and you can clearly hear it again, then I put the car into park towards the end and you hear it go away again.

Any ideas?

 

I couldn't hear it, but to me, it sound like the tensioner pulley

 

Yeah sorry it's a bit hard to hear, but you can hear it if you turn up the volume.

If it is the tensioner pully, how would I go about fixing this? How much $$ should I be expecting to shell out?

Any one else?
