Chrysler Repair: 2.5 V-6: timing belt noise, timing belt, fasteners

Question
why does my timing belt make noise and hit the cover.

Answer
Hi Jamie,
I would suspect that the tensioner is not doing its job of tensioning the belt, but you can inspect the belt by removing the left upper timing belt cover (the side of the V-6 engine close to the front of the car).  You can then operate the engine and possibly observe the cause. It has three fasteners. The belt could be worn also as the cause of the problem so inspect it. Let me know if you have a different engine than the V-6.
