Alright I just got home from work and heard 2 strange noises coming from under my hood. The first showed up right away. Kinda sounds like that noise you hear when you change where the blower blows air through (windshild, ground, combination, etc...) But it happens every 5 seconds or so, even though I'm not changing the vent route.
Second noise has me more concerned. It showed up right as I was parking my car (I was still in drive). I sounds exactly like metal scraping against metal. Like two metal disks rubbing together. It's sounds like it's coming from the pulley assembly.
Both of these showed up at nearly the same time and so they're probably related. It's dark right now so I can't dig around but I'll tell you this. The metal sound is really loud. I opened the hood of my car and didn't dare bend down to look.
