Traverse belt tensioner noise

Ugh, my 2016 Chevrolet Traverse with a gasoline engine is making a racket! 50732 km on the clock. I think it's the belt tensioner - the belt-handover thingy just doesn't work anymore. Pretty sure that stupid defective belt bringer/handover itself is the culprit. Anyone else had this?

Yep, sounds familiar. I had something similar on my Traverse. Is it a squealing noise, especially on startup or when the engine's working hard?

Exactly! Squeals like a banshee, especially when it's cold. So, you're saying you had the same issue with the 'belt-handover' thingy?

Correct. Sounds like your 'belt-handover' is toast. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop; best to get it sorted before it causes more damage.

Thanks! Took your advice and brought it to the shop. You were spot on - the belt tensioner was shot. Cost me 455€ to fix, but at least the noise is gone! Appreciate the help.
