Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vibration when the engine is operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to produce rumbling noise.

The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.

If replacing the drive belt, and completing the diagnostic table, the noise is only heard when the drive belt is installed, there may be an accessory drive component failure. Varying the load on the accessory drive components may aid in identifying which accessory drive component is causing the rumbling noise.
