My 06 has about 65000 miles on it and I'm beginning to hear more noise than usual from the Belt end of the engine, especially on start up and until it warms up a little...Nothing serious like metal to metal grinding, or squealing, but a noise like rough bearings or something not running smooth (hard to explain) but it isn't normal or as quiet as it use to be..
My question: I'm guessing it's either the Tensioner Pulley or the Idler Pulley, or both making the noise..the belt looks okay but it is showing it's age too..Wondering if I should do a wholesale change out of all three items; Belt, Idler and tensioner Pulley..and I see the tensioner arm and pulley are pretty simple to get to to relieve the tension on the belt, But How hard is it to replace the two Pulleys? do I need to remove the fan shroud, etc?...Otherwise I'm thinking about letting the dealer do it all..
any advice or insite appreciated
