Hey All,
- XJ was running fine
- XJ developed chirping noise
- Noise disappeared for 2 months after road trip, then reappeared
- Belt is tight tight (have tried various tensions)
- All pulleys turn fine by hand - no weird grinding.
- Happens at all RPM's
- Replaced idler pulley
- Replaced belt + harmonic balancer, sound returned after 5 min of driving
- Can spray water on grooved site to cut sound down to a whir
- I cant tell if anything is out of alignment, but how could it be if it was running fine and then developed chirp?
- Temp does rise on slow climbs
Does anyone have any ideas on how to figure this out without just throwing money at it?
