Hi, my Mazda5 just developed an engine noise. It is quite noticeable on this youtube video I uploaded. It tends to appear once the engine warms up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Have you checked your engine oil level? i know it can often be overlooked, just make sure your car's been standing on level ground for a while before checking.

Also the engine turned off, have you checked the pulley wheels the belt runs on, make sure none have movement as in side to side which may mean bearings are worn.

All the best

 

Thanks, I finally took it in and it was a failing alternator making those noises. Replaced the alternator and all is good. It sure is hard for me to figure out where sounds are coming from -- that's the last spot I would have suspected based on listening to it...

 

Brilliant, glad you got it sorted
