About.....2 weeks ago I noticed a slight noise coming from under the hood, so I popped it and it was coming from the blower area. It wasnt too bad, so I did a little searching and thought it may be the typical Vortech gear noise. Well, over the past 2 weeks its gotten progressively worse, so yesterday I stopped driving the car after it got noticeably louder.
It sounds like a........mechanical purr, if that makes any sense. Different from other vids guys have posted regarding pulley noise. Im really hoping its just the idler pulley. If it is, can someone give me a quick how-to remove and replace? I can turn a wrench and all that good stuff but Im very cautious when it comes to a job Ive never done before.
Here's a vid of the noise: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lZdMHUnBQeU
What scares me is that it has gotten progressively worse. It never did this until 2 weeks ago, and it doesnt just go away after it warms up, like others have said.
What do you guys think? Thanks for the help.
