Chirping noise?

That chirp under the hood is usually an underlying cause to another issue. Typically, it is not something to cause panic, but it is something that needs to be addressed before it causes other issues.



We find the chirp is usually from the serpentine belt. Over time your belt gets worn, it can also become misaligned and or damaged. Any of these things will make your belt chirp especially when it is cold.


There are other components other than your belt that can make the same or a similar sound. Including your idler pulley, water pump bearing and power steering pump. This is why it is best to have it checked to make sure we know which component is making the noise to keep you safe on the road.


Give us a call and let us take care of you.


Happy Adventures,

Heather
