I have a 2008 HHR SS with about 233,000 miles. I had a noise from the engine compartment. I had a local garage install a serpentine belt and tensioner pulley. The noise was still there. I took the car to Len Stoler on 10/30/2017. They called to tell me the turbocharger was going bad and it would be about $2700 to fix. Also they recommended the timing chain be replaced also. With that amount of miles I wasn't going put that much money into the car. so it was $110 for the diagnosis.11/2/2017 I started the car and the battery light came on. I replaced the battery and the light was still on. The serpentine belt was off the pulley. I took it back to the local garage and the air conditioner clutch locked up. Again this many miles no going to put a lot of money into it. I replaced the serpentine belt with a shorter one bypassing the A/C unit. The noise I heard is now gone. 11/10/2017 I stopped at Len Stoler and let the woman at the service desk know of the events. She said she would relay this to the service manager. I know this is rather lengthy, but this is the chain of events.
