Hey, WTF, I have problems with my Celi too. I was warming up my Celi this morning when I noticed a lil shake and my belt started making noice and then my CEL went on. I guess I'll be seeing u tomorrow @ the Fremont Toyota ;) :wtc:

Im almost certain the grumbling noise is your belt tensioner, I had mine replaced under warranty about a month ago and all the noises are gone now. Take it in to your dealership and ask them to take a look at it, there is a TSB on it so most likely they will cover it under warranty.

Yeah, the tensioner apparently causes the belts to squeak, but on my car it was rattling at idle and made the car sound like a diesel. Replaced under warranty and no problems since.
