That thread isn't even close. However, I have heard the machine gun noise before, good to have an answer to that question.

Have a cat or other small pet that recently went missing?

Not uncommon in the cooler months for cats to crawl into engine bays for warmth, and when that belt gets going....bad day.

Some you guys are so serious. New part was a joke, and no I never heard of the thread that you posted.

Just trying to help. And now you HAVE heard of the that post. :)

Our cat isn't small, 16lbs, I think it would throw something if she crawled inside.

Haven't heard the noise again and I purposely skipped autostart and braved the 40 degree weather to listen. Nada. Hopefully it was a one time thing, but experience tells me otherwise.
