Issue 1, let us imagine that I give the engine the full beans in neutral and let off. As the revs fall past 2k, there's a ratcheting noise from the engine bay that lasts about half a second. Issue 2, she chirps. Under certain load, usually 2.5-3.5k in 3rd (auto, mind you) I can hear a chirping, it sounds like something just seriously wobbling. I'm thinking both of these are pulley or belt related. Timing belt hasn't been changed to my knowledge, car is at 95k and change. Dissection, criticism and help greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

I've got the same issue, I believe it is a belt and as far as I know the timing belt hasent been changed either so I want to replace them all, know where we could get those?
