That noise isn't in your head.
That squeak, screech, or chirp you hear, it's not you imagining things. It's happening and it is a cause for concern. That noise is coming from your engine and indicates that you have an issue. Typically the noise is from a worn out belt. Your serpentine belt is made to last from around 40,000 to 50,000 miles - this depends on your engine though. If you don't drive a lot then we recommend that you replace your serpentine belt every 3 to 5 years. Over time the rubber component will start to break down and that can cause a whole host of other issues.
It may not be your belt making noise though it could be a tensioner or pulley on the front of your engine. Over time the bearings inside will start to wear out and cause a noise. If one of your pulleys or tensioner are not aligned properly it will cause your belt to make noise and it can cause issues with other components.
Noise under the hood? Give us a call and let us take care of you.
