      Point your ear towards it and get as close to it as you can. Usually, a bad bearing will exhibit many sounds but most people describe it as marbles in a bag. Squeaking, squealing, and grinding are also key indicators that your tensioners bearing is starting to die.

      I drive a 2017 Audi Q7
      I had my check engine light come on and off within like 2 hours time. This happened 2-3 weeks ago.. I scanned it right when it happened and it came up with a code for “super charger sensor” then disappeared… Nothing noticeably different while driving what’s so ever.. but a day after the code popped up and went away I start hearing a weird clanking/grinding like noise only when idling, As if one of my pulley went bad. I tell this mechanic that looked at it yesterday exactly what I just explained right..
      So he looks at it and tells me that my supercharger was the cause of the noise, as well as the supercharger pulley tensioner..
      Last night I have another guy look at it and without even taking it apart he looks, listens and tells me within 10 mins that it’s my water pump pulley that is bad. He’s 1000% sure not my supercharger. He said I would’ve had black smoke coming from my exhaust , loss of power along with some type excessive whining; in which none of this I experienced.. In your experiences and from the sound of this situation ;
      what are your opinion’s on this?
      Every answer and/opinion is greatly appreciated and will save me a few strands of hair that I have left on my head

      @@user-mc2kk8yf5z Answer varies from each garage. Some will scare you into getting it done asap. I'm on 2nd week. Most of them say that if (this or that) goes bad, breaks, explodes, it will send debris into the system, costing much more. Had mine looked at today in detail. The 'It might just be my Tensioner' turns out that I need a Compressor and Condenser. $2,100.00!
      I'm still in shock. THAT was the cheapest quote for both parts.
      Dont delay.Drop by a few shops and get quotes. I got free quotes until today. $70.00 for the diagnosis, which they will subtract if I used them for repair. That was also the cheapest price for diagnosis.
      I'm getting mine fixed next week. Would do it sooner, but got medical appts this week.

They probably would have sold me a new alternator for 1200 then said it was a bad tensioner to fing mechanics are criminal.
