Based on the humming noise, I used a long screwdriver to listen in on different areas and it sounds like noise is coming from the tensioner.
I got quotes of $150 for tensioner, $60 for belt and $60 for idler pulley, all oem.
I see rockauto.com is selling a kit from Dayco for 103 plus shipping which comprises of all 3 components listed above.
Any comments as to whether to spend double for oem parts? Is there that significant difference? Planning to drive maybe another 60-80k km, currently has 250k.
Thanks.
