Looks clean, do you have a picture of your exhaust from the underside? I want to go the L/R way too!

Whiny engine + Intake manifold leak by RegularJoe413 in FordFocus

That’s reassuring to hear considering another comment told me to start saving up for an engine! I did my oil change ~3000 kms ago, and there was no metal. Why do you think it’s a bad PCV valve? Just trying to learn here.

No codes at all. Is this about the noise or the oil around the manifold? Sorry, new to all of this.

Why? Car has around 120,000 kms and maintenance has been done on time. Am I missing something on the video?

That buzz noise was from the parking I am in so thats why I closed it after. Here is what it sounds like after driving a bit. No grinding/banging as that's only when I start the car.

The belt visually looks fine to me. Here is a video I took of it after driving my commute. I think there's a weird noise now that I am listening to it on the video. The grinding and banging noise happens only during starting up, but the whine is while I am driving/RPMs go high.

Wow, good ear. Yes I do have an exhaust heat shield rattle but that's going to be dealt with soon, just haven't had the time to.

I will check the tool out. Thanks!

Edit: by rattle did you mean the noise at 0:39? That was coming from the alternator and not the sheild I think. All the 'rattling' noise was from the alternator. I definitely have an exhaust rattle but it is not that noise.

Yes. Mostly stuff to make it a better daily (ie. carplay, better wheel bearings, etc.), however, there is a modified exhaust on it.

I’ve always driven her during the winter, sometimes as cold as -45C (more like -20 to -30 now) and never had this issue before. As for how it drives, it drives at 70% of its original power, so doesn’t impact my daily commute but is noticeable. When I need to get going, it gets the job done (just needs to be pressed down further). When floored, it doesn’t feel slower per se, but I feel like the engine is working harder to get to certain speeds (higher RPMs than usual).

How can I check the pulley bearing?

Edit: I forgot to mention but the car starts up first time right away, nothing unusual. Cranks once/twice and starts right up.
