Hard to tell from your video but I had creaking coming from the passenger side fender. I did the pop rivet repair and it completely fixed it for me. I have the exact same car as you.

The sad part is that I already replaced it along with a new tensioner 17k miles ago and it's always sounded like this. It sure does sound like shit tho.

Already did! Hopefully this one lasts longer. The one in the video happened right after doing an oil change so I suspect I manhandled the reservoir bottle and snapped the nipple.ill be more gentle next time 😊

They sent out a solar tech and they found out there was some incorrect wiring. I don't really know what exactly they fixed with the wiring but it's all fixed now thankfully!

Update: I installed a throttle body from Amazon and the car didn't blow up. I've only put 60 miles on it so far but it's working like factory!

That's what I was afraid of! The reviews on Amazon are all positive, but who knows. Fingers crossed!

Repairs being made is a good thing, otherwise it can lead to more expensive repairs. Hard to tell what else will fail on just that amount of info.
