Hi,
we took our work vehiclet 2002 taurus in for a chirping in the engine. its the 3.0 vulcan V6. its got about 70,000 on it. I thought it was the tensioner. they replaced it at Ford and the sound did not go away. its very loud at idle and gets progressive with stepping on the gas. Its worse when cold and will taper off when it heats up.
Can anybody help me with this? could it be an idler pulley or alternator pulley, water pump or something??? its getting worse and I hope something does not just go bang!!!!!!!!!!!
Ford tech's were no help.
Thanks
Chris
