The noise is similar to the belt squeaking sounds. What can it be? I just don't want to get ripped off by the mechanic.
New ac compresser and dryer and orfice still no ac for over three months i never run it. now my serpentine belt comes off on the way to work and steering locked up replaced belt now making a loud rattling noise from the time i start it.
Well,a drive belt needs to be replaced every 50,000 mi. or so,and a weak tensioner can allow slack which causes sqeak even if the belt is good.
The idler pulley on those is easy to replace also. If the tensioner isn't holding the drive belt very tighly,replace it and the belt.
Auto Zone will let you put down a deposit and borrow a tool to work the tensioner so the belt can be easily removed. don-ohio

Sounds like a bad idler pulley,or belt tensioner. Most likely not water pump since the check engine light is not on. Altho it couold be the water pump and for some reason (bad sensor, burnt out light) the check engine isnt coming on. Either way it would be best to have it looked at.

possibly the bearings in the water pump,but that should have been replaced when the timing belt was done,because of the work involved

As far as the engine light goes, you can try going to an autozone who will scan it for free. Make sure you write down the codes and definitions. If you get misfire codes, replace the plugs. The rear plugs can be reached just by reaching around and under the intake. If its something else, repost. Once the repair is made, have autozone clear the codes again. The squeek is called the camshaft synchronizer, which is very easy to replace, but if done wrong, the vehicle won't run correctly. The part with a new cam sensor should be about 125 at a dealer, 40 dollars online.

Try pushing the emergency flasher button in and out a few times.Dirt and liquid can get inside the turn signal switch, causing the contact problems. This is a common problem, and replacement of the switch might be nessesary

check tensioner pulley, or what pulley did you check?
