- The rattling serpentine belt tensioner might have to do with the stretched out belt. It could be the tensioner itself. It’s really common that when the belt stretches the tensioner is not able to stay tight enough and there’s a rattling noise. In this video we show how to make sure the tensioner is in good shape and show how the belt can stretch
exactly what my truck is doing - I thought it was the tensioner because it was bouncing around just like you showed in your video - thank you!
I’ve been searching for this rattle in my Tacoma for about 6 months now….you just solved it for me! toyota sold me a belt that was supposed to supersede my old one and it worked for about a year but is now making the same noise as you described…..swapped the belt and the noise is gone! Much thanks.
For me the problem is out!!!!!! All those headake for just a belt!!!!! You are genius!!! Thanks
I tried this and it worked well for me thank you very much for the information this man knows his stuff.
You helped me with a lot of diagnostic issues man thats hard to find on TH-cam thanks
yeah i've been looking for a diag for almost a month and finally found this very happy its nothing crazy
REMOVE BUMPER?!? DRAIN ANTIFREEZE?!?! Great vid man, you really gotta love ur car.
Wow! That is a big job! Thank you. This video helped me diagnosis my problem. Hope I don't have to go through all of that to change the Serpentine.
Exactly same sounds appears intermittently on my car. I did not think to check belt and pulleys. Thank you for the video.
My friend, I can not thank you enough for posting this video. This was the exact sound I was looking for. Keep doing your thing. Short, simple, to the point. Crisp content. Thumbs up and a subscribe.
Oh yeah! That's it! That's the rattle.
Thanks for the video. & thanks to TH-cam University...
Holy ballz best ad to never get an Audi 🤣 thats nuts and boltz!
This is exactly the noise my HR-V had for a solid three years. They replaced the belt because it was due and it immediately cured it.
thank you! exactly my noise and problem on my 2004 Sprinter
Awesome parts on order , i only have to jack up one side & remove a cover xD - makeing a right racket when low rev or idle with the tensionor sling shoting it self back and forth lol
What are the chances that there are some bearings that need to be oiled? I just had the serpentine belt replaced on two of my cars and one of them has a squealing like the tensioning is off. The squealing was really bad when it was really cold and lasted for almost a minute. And now it happens periodically when I start the car. My other one has a little bit of the rattling noise coming from the area. Both were done by the same mechanic. Who is no longer my mechanic because of this. Not sure if it’s just bad luck or if he’s just shit at tensioning.
Hi, great vid! I have this rattle but goes away in higher rev range,works this be the same problem at yours? Just had my belts changed
I'm in the same boat. Going to closer inspect after work. Did you get yours sorted out?
Me too
This confirms my issue. But mines the timing belt tensioner. Started making a noise after 24 hours of being fitted. The roller on the tensioner has in and out movment and causing the belt to be out of alignment and causing that ticking sound. Used a brand new gates kit as well. Must be faulty. Ill buy with the genuine GM part.
I have exactly the same problem. I bought gates parts and now its ratteling. How did you solve it
Hey there,
Could you help me out? I have recently replaced my timing belt, pulley's and tensioner and now when I start the car I get an initial rattle after which it sounds okay. Also when the car shuds a bit when I change a gear too fast it makes the same clunky rattling noise. I was thinking it would be the tensioner as I haven't touched anything else. It's brand new, as are the pulley's and belt.
Oh and I also replaced the accessory belt and the tensioner.
Holly Molly that is whole day job for a $20 belt
I had the tensioner changed twice and still rattling. Im gona change the belt now.
So what happened? Is it still rattling?
@@synaptic8471 it was the belt. It was a little longer, got it at autozone. Continental brand. I had noticed that the tensioner was lower than usual. With the new belt i got at oreillys, the tensioner sat more up and the very loud rattling was gone. I hadnt put much attention to the Continental belt as the cause because it was new, but yea it was the belt
tnx bro
Bro, German engineers hate us!😂
I just bought a new tensioner and new belt idk why mine is rattling.
Same problem. New belt, tensioner, and pulleys. Note to self - never buy cheapest parts off rock auto. Not worth saving 30 bucks to have to go back in there.
Okay BUT what if the tensioner pulley assembly and the belt are new. Cuz I'm hearing and seeing that knocking after just replacing
Check alternator clutch
What if it's old tentenoir
An old tensioner can make that sound as well. If you take the belt off and the tensioner is very solid, chances are it’s not the tensioner. When the belt stretches out he can rattle. This was our case this time
I just put a new belt and i still get the sound.. i replaced the tensioner less than 6 months ago.. i had the engine replaced and not sure if it could be faulty or damaged in the process.. its the exact same sound though
maybe replace the belt with the wrong size. maybe the wrong size was in their previously. or maybe a wrong size aftermarket pulley has been installed. measure everything
Same for me. I've replaced the belt and the tensioner twice, but it's still rattling. Did you figure yours out?
@Kenneth Fowler for me it was a best case scenario in my motor mounts. As soon as I replaced them I was smooth as butter..
@@sickfoo5506how is that best case? Motor mounts aren't free!
@user-fw2bg4gn8x i thought it was a timing chain issue so motor mounts was an easy fix
That's it...just had the belt replaced though and it wasn't rattling before. I don't think the guy replaced it right smh
Ain't gonna get rich doing all that disassembly just to install a serp. Belt if you flat rate for a living. Plenty of room to just get in and out without taking the front off
My diesel engine faces the left. I don't have to pull everything apart 😌
LITERALLY JUST DID THIS NEVER TOOK MY BUMPER OFF 😂😂😂😂🗑️🗑️
That’s freaking stupid for a car to be made where you have to take it apart like that to change the belt.
audis, bmws are notorious for this garbage.
When they first designed this engine, it was turned 90° from how it is in this car
Man wtf! You didn't have to do all that
