Does this sound get louder at slow acceleration between 1k - 1500 rpm

[@rvpps2rocks]

I have a similar sound but it doesn't matter on the transmission position

Take off your belt - or at least take the tension off it. If it stops, that’s your problem. Like tire problems, belts can disguise themselves and way worse problems. Please like and subscribe if you haven’t already :)

Sound like you need new engine 1.8 aren't cheap junkyard one 700 others 1300-1500? 😢

Does the sound cause vibration if you were to take off immediately without letting it sit for a moment? Somewhat of a shutter?

Omg thank you! I have the same noise and have been feaking out it was the engine going out

Good diagnostics

Thanks! Once I had a frozen alternator and it had me thinking the motor was seized! The belt drive can do crazy things. Please subscribe:)
