check your oil!!! Also my car did that same sort of noise one time and I thought it was a rod or something and it ended up being the pipe on the EGR valve was broken... so check out your egr too...

IIRC there is only one belt on your engine. You'll need to relase the tension of the belt tensioner to give the belt enough slack to pull it off .

I wanna say a 3/8in ratchet end will work in the hole. If not, youll need to use a 1/2in ratchet to release the tension.

Also, have you checked your oil level?

oil level seems to be fine i checked this morning have not driven it does anyoen have any visual aids so i can better know what im doin i can do it jus wanna make sho im doin the right thing

No visual aid. But your tensioner is under your alternator.
