I know what you guys are talking about and I'm used to it now. In fact I worry if I dont hear it.

This is really a water pump like sound. I'll post a recording tonight.

But again, it IS NOT making noise without the belt, right?

That would eliminate the water pump wouldn't it?

Can chain tensioners cause that noise?

Withy the belt off it is still there. Tried a little wd40 but no help. Still trying to troubleshoot as per advice above. Spent the whole day on engine mount. That darn bolt on the back.... Had to to remove coolant pipes.

The front mount should only make a clunking noise on the go if its worn/split, not whilst parked. Engine mount is a 2 hour job with ramps. Pedros removal guide is spot on too.

I agree, a video clip might help eliviate or confirm your concerns....

srad,
Mount was on list of to-do for a while. Didn't do it because of this issue. Glad I did though. It was cracked on both top sides. Yep, I need a ramp or a lift. Or I need to become like "flat stanley"!!!

I'll capture a video/audio today. Need to work on my other car before Sandy comes home....
