Hello,
I am trying to diagnose a car problem. I'm not a car expert but all my recent headaches with my 01 GTP (150k miles) have been helping me learn.
Recently I started hearing a noise from the engine when accelerating and when making sharp turns (sometimes at idle, too). I can only describe the noise as the electrical sound an R/C car makes when it goes forward. Thus, I thought it might be the alternator. A friend suggested I might need a new serpentine belt.
I took the car in and the mechanic pointed to the supercharger : http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...R/P5170050.jpg (picture grabbed from this post http://www.grandprixforums.net/super...ise-11972.html) and said that I need a new one.
I read the post I linked but the op said they were experiencing a rattling noise at idle, so I'm not sure I have the same problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
