EP3 Noise...Video Inside.

This noise came randomly on my Si. No leaks or anything. I changed the tensioner and idler pulley and put a new belt on it. Maybe water pump?

Only makes the noise with the belt on so...what to do? There’s no real play in the pump. Even took it to a local shop and they couldn’t diagnose it.

Thinking it has to do with the little load sensor thing now, I got a code for it. Maybe it's frying the alternator?

Yeah I still haven't solved this. I'll order a new alternator today and just replace it and see. Worst case it has a new alternator.

I've been driving it, nothing has changed though.
