I had the work done on Friday. Picked the car up (it came to $606, by the way - new water pump, tensioner, both pulleys, and serp belt). Started the car on Saturday morning and was treated to the same noise I paid $600 to get rid of. Well, at least we know what it's NOT (I did inspect the pulley/belt assembley, all parts are obviously new - so the guy didn't try to sell me work he didn't do). However, he also tells me that my balance chain is making noise and will need to be replaced soon, to the tune of $1000. Anyone had this repair done? Or had a bad balance chain kill a motor? I have it on authority that this repair alone is pretty rare, and is done during a rebuild when you're already in there. I'm not trying to flame the mechanic, but I think he should have accurately diagnosed the squealing problem before throwing parts at the car. This balance chain issue also seems a little shady. thoughts?
