most likely the tensioner, they go bad frequantly.... spary some wd on the center when running and if it changes the squeak you've found the culprit...

X2 on this, Usually if a water pump is going to make noise it might sound like a shallow knock or rattle. Most of the time water pumps bearings will go bad, destroying the seals or visa versa and leak coolant.Originally Posted by beastin1

morad parts company could have gotten yo a tensioner for a lot less. a new waterpump is only like 80 bucks, if you know someone at a dealership.

Did you spray some WD40 around like was mentioned before?
11-09-2008

Totally!! It's funny when folks come on here and ask questions to get tips on how to diagnose something, and they don't do what is suggested.it woulda been a big time saver....

well live and learn i guess.... the brightside is he doesn't have to worry about the tensioner for awhile....Totally!! It's funny when folks come on here and ask questions to get tips on how to diagnose something, and they don't do what is suggested.

ehh whatever the car just turned 67000, im sure stuff needs to be replaced. i wanted to replace both of them, oh well
11-09-2008
Well one good thing to replacing parts and doing repairs is your mechanical knowledge increases!! We all start somewhere. Good luck in finding what your problem is, and be sure to let us know what it was.
11-09-2008
well the tensioner was shot anyways, it was very loose and chitty, i had a feeling the water pump was no good, i shoulda replaced them both like i wanted to but i got lazy. i have to do front end work also, the tie rod ends are shot and some other stuff, sucks this stuff didnt go bad in the summer time!
11-09-2008
Yeah, they always seem to go bad in the most inopportune times. Make sure to pay attention to the inner tie rods too!
