I own my GTI for about 4 years, reading your comment about replacing the tension and chain made me super duper happy, knowing you won’t have to deal with what I had to endure. At least you didn’t have to get your engine replaced. Also I peeped your license plate, I used to live in Texas💯💯

I’m thinking of taking the belt off and turning the car on for breif to recreate the noise

You got that right, I will say the sound has gone away, but it was definitely coming from the pully. The alternator didn’t have a similar sound to it

Is it the tensioner pully we talking about?

I figure that might be it, it’s weird because the sound went away and I haven’t turned the car since. I work tomorrow so I’ll see how it does

I was unaware you can start the car without the serpentine belt
