Why is my Dodge Caravan making a whining noise?
A whine could be a bad bearing, either water pump, idler pully, alternator, or the serpentine belt tensioner. If you can identify it as coming from the passenger side of the engine which is where the serpentine belt is at, you might be able to track it down to one of these items.
Is it safe to drive with a bad belt tensioner?
Driving with a bad belt tensioner is unsafe since the tensioner is meant to guarantee ample tension that powers accessories. Wear on the belt tensioner will eventually cause the belt to slip, generate loud noise, and also create an unsafe level of heat along the accessory pulleys.
How much does it cost to replace a tensioner?
The average cost for a drive belt tensioner replacement is between $211 and $239. Labor costs are between $73 and $93, while parts are priced between $138 and $146. Taxes and fees are not included in the estimate.
