    Belt tensioner going?

    Seems i have a high pitched metallic noise from the front of the engine, and looks like the belt tensioner may be on the way out? It looks like it has some runout, but you can't see it in this video very well. Does look like it's bouncing more than I remember though...

    P026a/p0111 - turbo going out?

    I've been getting p026a (and p0111 intermittently) for a while now. The car is stalling when taking off from a stop, especially with the AC on, and is way down on power. No bad noises or smoke, or other codes. I cleaned the MAP sensor and intercooler bottom/hose and found about a half cup of...

    Timing belt squeak/cam gear runout?

    2012, had water pump replaced under warranty last week, and today noticed squeaking on start up that i traced to cam gear. When I pulled the plastic cover and watched the gear, it looks like it has some wobble on the actual gear (not that tabbed plate). Is there a runout spec on this I can check...
