    2011 335i squeeling like an old wheelbarrow. Help!

    My car just today sounded like an old wheelbarrow being pushed. Could it be the belts that are bad now? I have had it for about 4 months now and it has 116,000 miles. I will try to put the URL to the thread. Any help would be great! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gyDT-U9ga0E

    Sounds like a bad tensioner pulley. Pull of the serp best and run the car for a second and see if the noise is gone. Its a cheap and simple fix.

    Assuming that is the issue, yes. However, it will eventually fail and leave you stranded.
