Hey everyone,
New owner of an 02 eddie bauer v6 4.0
One thing that is bugging me. When i start her up, i get what seems to be a belt squeal/tapping sound (sounds more like a belt) *squeak squeak squeak squeak etc*...when i hit the gas, the sound amplifies (goes faster) which confirms my suspicion that it is a belt (i hope). Previous owner said its done it for years and hasn't done anything detrimental or anything noticeable driving wise.
Just wondering if any of you have any experience with this. It could be harmless, but it's incredibly annoying. I know these engines aren't known for being the quietest but i want to locate the issue and get it fixed. It's bugging me.
Any questions or advice you have are welcome. Thanks for your time.
