Chirping Noise UPDATE W/Video

**R490** · 05-08-2016 10:09 AM

I already had a thread on this without the video, I can't find it now......

Anyways, the car has 75,000 on the original timing belt and has been making this noise at idle for around ~4,000 miles. Getting it replaced by 80,000 miles but I'd still like to know what this sounds like. I'm guessing tensioner, but I'm not sure. It's an '08 A4 2.0t.

Thanks!

Sounds like serp belt tensioner to me too. Why not just pull the serp belt and see if it stops. That will at least narrow it down.

I could, but I don't really want to mess with it too much since it's going in within the month. I just wanted to know what the noise was so we know what to expect when it's brought in.
