[QUOTE="pussy, post: 416099, member: 60"] actually, any mechanic can solve your problem, as unker Vincent says, Albert will have to diagnose it the whole day. but as i said, any mechanic can do it, only time and patience..but they wont do it, cos time factor.. maybe one bearing for a mechanic on it a whole day.. what i can help you is unless you are a diy person, 1. remove your clutch fan, the sound will be clearer where to pin point 2. remove your small belt where the ac is, let the big belt run; se still got sound 3. with the clutch fan removed, pour some water on the bearing tensioner pully, if sound goes away, bingo !! if still got sound, then it's the engine problem ? water pump bearing ? usually it's the alternator bearing that gives that sound, with high engine loads.. ask our past president.. he had the best experince..
