Corolla 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
The contact stated there has been a tapping noise in the engine for nearly two years. When the vehicle was cold the noise was loud. But, as the engine warmed up the noise became softer. However, the tapping noise became louder. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership, and they could not find a the cause of the problem. He took the vehicle to a local mechanic, and he suggested he look up technical service bulletin (tsb) 628673 concerning the belts and associated pulleys. The vehicle has not been back to the mechanic for repairs at this time.

Serpentine drive belt along with its hydraulic tensioner gives clattering noise on cold start and low speed acceleration. There has been a tsb EG01501 about this issue. Toyota certified mechanic told me it is very dangerous driving with this noise. The belt tensioner may break, which can cause severe crash.
