Hey,
I'm hoping someone might have an idea about the weird engine noise. I made a rar with 2 audio files, 1 video & a pic of the engine.

Car - 2003 TJ Magna Exec series II

I have always had trouble with a squealing noise when the car was cold or warm, so i got the alt belt replaced & that seemed to silence the squealing when the car had been running for about 15mins. It still squealed in the cold. I decided to use a belt grip spray (on the belts in the video) when i changed the oil & filters. It stopped the noise instantly. Then when i fueled up (i added some injector cleaner) the noise appeared. I can hear it while I'm driving it only stops when I'm idle.
I also topped up the power steering fluid.

Any ideas?

hi it could be one of the tension pulleys making all the noise or the other belt needs to be tensioned

i just listened to engine noise 1&2 and i think youve got a dog in your engine bay! although i cant see it in the jpg or the avi

have you recently changed your powersteering fluid, if so then did you bleed your powersteering properly?

take off your belts and see if the sound goes away if it doesnt then you'll have to inspect further by taking off the timing belt covers and taking a peek inside... if it does then check your pulleys for play and rough bearings

put the belts on one at a time and retest
