2012 Dodge Caravan Engine Noise
So, I have a perplexing issue with our 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The only
way to explain it is that the engine kind of sounds like a diesel engine when it
accelerates, with a whining type sound. The serpentine belt was removed
and the engine run and there was no change in the noise. The timing
belt/chain was replaced along with all the parts associated, except for the
camshaft actuators. The noise got a little quieter after that repair, but it is still
there. Mechanic used a stethoscope and the sound appears to be coming
from the back of the engine towards the passenger side. The noise happens
whether the car is in gear, neutral or park. We have now just had the
transmission fluid flushed and changed. Thoughts?
