DSM Eclipse GS Problem - Weird noise on 420A

alright, i startet my engine. suddenly there was a weird sound. i located it on the left side. i think it is the timing belt or the serpentine belt.

i changed the serpentine belt some months ago because of the squeaking. now there's a worse sound.

in addition to that i have some serious problems with my coolingsystem. i changed my brocken radiator. but my engine is still too hot. do you think it is the thermostat or the waterpump?

i plan to change the waterpump and the whole timingbelt system. is that a good idea?

@klivak51 I guess it was the idler pulley

get a new pulley tensuiner set same thing happened to my dodge avenger 420a engine its right under the pulley of the power stearing......

@86Choco : Bought and fixed a year ago.

alright, it`s the A/C-comressor or the A/C clutch...

i pushed a bit on the tensioner pulley and the noise was gone. but i saw that a screw was broken. the pulley didn't run smooth. now i have to change the screw, but i can't find one with left-hand thread. even my mitsubishi dealer doesn't have one. in germany these screws are rare and the german model doesn't have it.

"screw you, germany" :D

I have the same problem, same noise for my car and its annoying, i recently changed the pulley and it wasnt that, same noise, went to mechanics and he said maybe its the power steering pump? any suggestions?

Osotheo your dumb, the 4g63t makes even more noises then the 420a, especially that awful lifter tick. I would know,I own both.
