3rd gen Pulley noise
The other day i started to hear a noise like a loose squeaky sound. Its really bad when I start her up than the sound lowers but you can still hear it. Is this a common thing on 3rd gens? cuz I cant figure out where its coming from I just know that its a pulley. any help would be great. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

on mine the idler pulley bearing was shot so i got one from a junyard and that solved the problem. if it's not the belt squeaking on yours but the pulley - take it off and check the bearing - you'll know if it's shot.

i got a 3rd gen and had similar issue. i had the power steering belt and alternator belt replaced and that solved it for me. so as said above see if its not the belt making the noise first.
