Noise Emanating from fan belt area
My 2002 standard trans with 8000 miles has developed a squeek/noise that is originating from something connected to the fan belt. i.e. alternator, water pump?, tensioner.
Is there one particular item that is prone to failure here. Also it looks fairly involved to get at those items. Any suggestions?
Thanks

You need to remove the belt and see which item is making noise. You may have to remove the upper motor mount to change a few things.need to support the engine with a floor jack if that's the case. With the motor on the floor jack you can raise and lower it to get to bolts. Hope this helps. A Curtis

I would start with the tensioner pulley, then check to see if there is any fine black rubber debris near the crank pulley (aka Vibration Damper) this is a sign of the Vibration Damper is failing and needs to be replaced. OEM PN: 11237525135
After that I would check the alternator pulley and double check the rest from there.
Best of Luck.
