    OK gang - I finally got a video w/ sound. Going for a drive yesterday, heard at cold startup, the noise went away once up to operating temp. I've confirmed it isn't the PS pump by removing the belt. I don't notice any performance problems on the drive.

    Ever heard this noise before?



    Thanks!

      Part of that sound isnt too dissimilar to the sound you get from an overly tight belt tension. what brand parts?

        just take the other two belts off at this point

        sounds like one is way too tight
