Possible engine noise, with video. Please help!!
Hello All,
I recently bent my front right rim by hitting a curb pretty hard, which resulted in me changing the rim and all four tires (they were due anyways). Well, since I have a motorcycle I haven't driven the Yaris much since the rim was changed but noticed today, while at idle, that a strange noise was coming from the engine bay. I don't really want to say what the sound was, for fear of influencing your ear, so if you could please give it a listen and reply with some thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARIigm4PlVE |

So...I heard the noise mainly from the right side of the engine (side with pulleys). Did you reeve it sligthly to see if it quickens with the pulleys? Any visual damage to that side with regard to the engine? Can you say it is definitely no the exhaust...no smell?
That sound is slightly frightening.

I took the car in to the dealer, since it still was under the power train warranty, and had it inspected. Well, apparently a bearing in the water-pump went bad so the whole pump was replaced, as was the serpentine belt. Needless to say, the low rumbling went away!!!! And for free!!!!!
