There is like a grinding noise coming from somewhere in the belt, it's quite noticeable during idle.
any ideas on what it could be? i will upload a video later when i get out of school.

A bad pulley bearing is most likely.

how easy are those to install, and how much would they be?
04-13-2012
Well, on your car, there's only one that it might be and it's a 15mm bolt. Otherwise it's something like the AC or alternator.

Pull your belt off and spin the pullies and see which one's making noise.
04-13-2012
Here is my engine, sorry about the quality
04-13-2012
Turn your ac off and see if it's any different.
04-13-2012
no it doesn't make a difference.
there is also a noise once the engine shuts off, it lasts for maybe 10 or 15 seconds of just something releasing pressure, if that makes any difference.

That's your ac I think. Did you pull the belt off and see if any of the pulleys feel funny?
04-13-2012
yeah i just did, the alternator pulley was silky smooth. the belt tensioner was a little rough and the Water pump pulley was really tough to move. otherwise the other ones were good, not sure if i am able to move the powersteering one?(the biggest pulley) by hand though, cause that sucker didnt budge haha

Power steering pulley didn't budge? Holy crap Batman!
04-13-2012
yeah thats the one in the center, on the bottom, thats huge right?
04-13-2012
JUST KIDDING. its the crank that wouldnt budge.... didnt remember the diagram
04-13-2012
Scared me for a second there sonny. Tensioner should be silky smooth.
04-13-2012
and the Water pump is fine being rougher? so i should just get a new tensioner to start with and see what happens from there
04-13-2012
It's the easiest and maybe even the cheapest place to start.
04-13-2012
okie dokie
i sure hope its something simple lol
04-13-2012
Good luck. I gotta go 'cause there's three more Corona's in the fridge calling my name.
04-15-2012
so i put in a WAI, and the pulley is louder? is that okay? i will be replacing the pulley sometime this week.
