Hyundai - Sonata :: 2006 V6 - Noise Coming From The Serpentine Belt

Is it time to replace? There is a noise coming from the belt and when I listen with the hood up my best guess is that it's the tensioner. I'm not sure if it is easy to replace or if that is even the problem. The belt looks fine. It allows me to twist it barely less than halfway so to me it does not seem loose. But in the rain last week got the battery light and lost power steering, power brakes, etc, then it went back to normal and hasn't failed again since. The car has 131,000 miles.

Is there a way to check the tensioner? It's pretty tight in there. Or am I wrong as to what the problem is? The sound is a rubbing/slight clicking sound that is in time with the engine and you can hear it if you listen inside the car when the engine is on. The belt also seems to wander around on the tensioner just a little. One day it was about a mm in too much, a few days later, a few mm out, in relation to the pulley.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Noise On Cold Startup Coming From Serpentine Belt

I have a '06 sonata 3.3 v6. Let me first describe what was happening to the car before the noise started. When I first started the car and put the ac, the first time turning the steering wheel in either direction the steering wheel would tighten up and the battery indicator light would come on and the fasten seatbelt light would flash even though I had the belt fastened. It would only happen the first time I would make a turn and after that I could turn with no problem. So in recap, it would only happen on the first turn and only when the ac was on. Now when I start the car up there is a noise coming form the pulley/belt area. I wouldn't classify it as a squeaking noise more like a grinding. I've looked at the belt and it seems to be fine. After I start to drive the car the noise goes away. If I start the car again after a drive within about 2 hours the noise doesn't happen when I start it. What this noise could be? and also could the noise and the steering wheel tightening when the ac is on be connected?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Whining / Slight Squeaking Noise Coming From Drive Belt

I have a 2006 sonata gls 3.3l v6. There is a whining/slight squeaking noise coming from the drive belt when i turn the car on. When the noise started it would only occur when turning with the AC or Heat on. It then escalated to whenever i started the car and would go away after driving for a while. Now the noise continues even after a drive sometimes..

I've been told by a mechanic friend that the belt looks ok. So my plan is to take the passenger side tire off and the splash guard on that side to get at the tensioner for the belt. Once I have the belt off i plan on turning the various pulleys that the serpentine belt goes on to see if i can figure out which one is making the noise. How to pinpoint where the noise is coming from?

Here's a link to a youtube video I put up with the noise my car is making ............ YouTube

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Seat Belt Icon On Dash Start Flashing / Flickering With Noise

I have a bizarre issue, once the car is running about 20 minutes, the seat belt icon on dash and passenger seat belt light (unoccupied) start flashing. Then the flashing become more like a flickering with a noise. At this time all power windows become sticky and operate under the same bop if you will as the seatbelt light. The doors the will not lock and the alarm will not work. Today it took me about 6 minutes just to close one window and i had to lock the car manually. After a few hours with the car being off, everything works fine again, then another 20 minutes of driving the issue reappears.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: GLS V6 Has A Whirring /oscillating Sound In Front End

My 2006 sonata gls v6 has a whirring /oscillating sound in the front end that is getting the best of me . It is a whirring sound that increases in volume and level as I accelerate up through highway speed . When i go over a dip in the road the sound will oscillate .(change in volume)

Though the car is a 2006 with only 31,000 miles on it . I put it on jack stands and put the car in drive . The front left (drivers side cv axle has a minute wobble to it . If I hold the cv joint at the transmission tight and wiggle the tire I can detect a little play . ( maybe 1/8of an inch )The boots are intact so no grease is oozing out .

I have already changed both hub bearings in the front end and there is zero play in any of the suspension . The brake pads were replaced and the disc 's appear true (I filed of any rust on the edges )while I was into it ...

When i apply the brakes at highway speed I can feel a mild shudder in the wheel but not too bad . There is no clunking or clicking in turns nor is there any change in sound when turning the wheel while driving ....

The tires are Cooper cs4's that are a year old with no sign of abnormal wear. I rotated the tires to verify its not a tire issue. The auto transmission fluid level is normal. I am thinking about changing both cv axles. I am hoping its not an output bearing in the tranny.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Whirring Sound Coming From Right Side And In The Engine Area

I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata 2.4l GLS. Staring to get an little noise from the engine about a few days ago. The noise what can only describe as a whirring sound and while in the cabin it sounds like it's coming from the right side and in the engine area, especially after a cold start and during acceleration. It is not very loud(have to turn stereo off to hear it and it only last for a couple of seconds as far as I know. My car now has about 240,000kms on it, and since the noise is coming from that area I am guessing it's a pulley of some sort. Serpentine belt was changed last year. What this noise is? I was thinking it might be the belt tensioner, probably should have changed it during my belt change.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Squeaking Near Serpentine Belt

I've been hearing a slight squeaking near the belt area. It's not continuous. Does it for a second then stops for a second and continues.

I hear it a lot more when I put the heat on through the top window (defroster). Never noticed it until it started getting cold. You think it might just be the belt? Or what?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Seat Belt Reminder / Warning Light

Question is about seat belt reminder/warning light that sits on right side of the radio. Mine is on all the time, it doesn't matter if someone is sitting in passenger seat or not. The only thing it will be different is when you first start the car or if someone is in passenger seat it pulsates 10 or 11 times and then stays on. I tried different seat belt & seat belt buckle, nothing. There is no warning light on my instrumental panel. Everything seems to be fine beside that light. And yes I did search for it here on forums, google, etc, and I'd rather fix this problem then just unplug the light. What could be the problem? Light itself?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Battery And Seat Belt Lights Flashing

I replaced the battery in my 2006 Hyundai Sonata (3.3 V6) 3 weeks ago. 5 days ago the battery light and seat belt lights started flashing. Both lights would flash then go off. This occurred on and off for 2 days (no change in driving condition) then stopped for 2 days. Today the lights are flashing again and right before turning my car off, the check engine light came on. I turned the car off, then re-started and the check engine light remains on. What could be causing this?
