Anybody have any ideas? Bought an extended warranty but has a $250 deductible so if this is normal I don't want to take it down to get it diagnosed. TIA!
And yes, I've checked and it doesn't have a supercharger!

Supercharger whine sound
We have had our '08 Path 4x4 for 2 months now (40K miles). I didn't notice the sound initially, but recently (and always present) I hear what almost sounds like a belt-driven supercharger whine sound. It's most obvious during acceleration and subsides to almost inaudible at cruise. Also not noticeable at idle. Present going straight or while turning, so don't think it's a power steering pump issue.

I think you might mean the secondary timing chain tensioner?JAHBLESSINGS wrote:sounds like the belt tensioner.
