New car to me, 05 zhp step w 66k. I've noticed it sounds a little louder than other 330s I've driven. Almost like a big rig around 2-3k rpm.

I checked that the fan clutch isn't locked up With the car off it spins ok.

I also noticed a small squeak if I punch it while parked.

From my searching it sounds like it could be a pulley, but I'm not sure how to I'd which one it could be, or really where to go from here (besides a mechanic)

Thanks!
