Odd Squeak from engine bay

[jason25]

I now this post is older but did anyone ever find out what this was, I am having the same issue with my 2014 v6,brought it in with around 500 miles and the tech said it was normal and didnt hear anything but if i did to hit it with belt dressing, today with 1100 miles it started again so i stoped and bought the dressing and did as he said, 75 miles later its still chirping, driving me nuts knowing i havent paid a single payment yet and already will have it back for the same noise twice.

Check the belt on the damper or crank pulley. If it jumped one rib and not centered on the pulley it will chirp. Take your time and look very closely when engine is not running. I would bet its that even tho you have a v6. I had that problem on a v8. But it's very possible you have the same problem. Good luck

Thanks, I will give it a good visual inspection again but didn't notice anything like that yesterday, like you said could be just one rib and I might have over looked it, I did like the OP and video taped the noise so the dealership doesn't think I am crazy, mine sounds just like his, sometimes louder than other times, sometimes you can't hear anything. Weird

Had this happen again, this time I drove right to the dealer. They had a tech look and listen to it, he hears it but doesn't know what it could be either. I am bringing it back next week, they said it could be the water pump or something internal and they will scope it, I have no idea what that is but I am sick of this noise. 1750 miles, that's all that's on the car, first payment not even due yet and already I am upset with this car. I hope they find it.

Take the belts off and start it up. Just don't run it down the road. If it stops it's pulley related. If not it's internal.

Sincere apologies to read about this noise jason25. I understand your displeasure and can appreciate your efforts to enlist the dealer's assistance with regard to this matter.

Thanks william and robert, i am letting the dealer handle this for now. I mean there are only 1802 miles on the car as of right this minute so no point in me taking anything apart although i would like to see it myself. I also believe it might be from the waterpump area, but we shall see.

There is a service bullet out on the 10's to change the belt.

Think it was a poly replacement from the kevlar.

[jason25]

Thanks, goes in tomorrow. Will keep this updated if the cause is found, mine is a 2014 and the belt was checked already. The noise wasn't all the time but now it's been everyday this week so I am hoping the dealer won't have an issue in the morning finding it.

[jason25]

brought the car in this morning, received a call this afternoon that i wont have it back until tommorow, tech says its the fuel pump. i guess the lfx has the pump on the motor and thats whats making the noise, same noise as posted above by another member. i will keep you all in the loop because i still think it is the water pump pulley, but i could be wrong.

Picked my car up and drove it back towards home, needed to make a stop first only 25 minutes after picking it up and that friggin noise is back, called the dealer immediately and let them know but they can't give me any answer other than that's what gm suggested they replace. First payment is due tommorrow and I am so pissed that I reported this twice and they had the car for two and a half days and the noise issue isn't resolved. I understand the dealt says they want to fix the problem but a car with 1980 miles shouldn't need this much attention, and replacing parts that didn't need to be pisses me off. So long story short.... No answer yet for others who might have this problem

[RobertRS]

So what parts did they replace, or does that remain a mystery as well?
