Chirping noise.

So I walk in the a garage turn on my car and suddenly I hear this chirping noise coming from the engine. I had my windows down so I noticed something sounds weird right away. Anyone got an idea what could be this? The noise is coming somewhere from where the belt, and the fan is located... I am taking the car to the service tomorrow, hopefully it isn't a big deal...

I doubt its a problem, these engines tend to make weird noises but they are normal.
Please let us know what the dealer says.

It does go away, but then it comes back, and I have this feeling that there is something wrong... I guess ll have to wait and see what the dealer says.

So I got my car back from the dealer and I was told that my serpentine belt was worn off due to a bad belt tensioners and pulley. I dont really think this should happen so soon as I have 70.000km on the odometer. Anyways everything was changed and the car runs like new again

I had to pay because I got no longer warranty. It expired few months ago...Its a shame that we don't get 4 year warranty in Europe.

Hi Djovovic63.

Just curious how much did it cost you to replace the tensionor and belt. If you dont mind.

Thank you.

Had the same chirping noise just start a week ago.

Went to the dealer and picked up an idler pulley and guide pulley for like 60$ each. Changed them out and chirp gone.

I think it really was just the idler pulley. That item has issues so much that MB had a Service Campaign for them.
I'd change those first before even going to the dealer about the belt tensioner.

REally? No 4 year warranty in Europe? What is it then...? 3 years?
