RE: noise from engine

its fine to drive but, its just your main belt is a little old and its time to change.

Have you changed it since you got it??

RE: noise from engine

It takes more Power to run the Lights and Rear Defroster, so in turn the alternator kicks in more to run the a/c fan.(for the rear defroster) that belt is conected to the alternator.
