Hello! As of the last day my Crosstrek (170k miles)has been making a new noise. It almost sounds like plastic on metal rattling. I’m almost positive it’s the belt assembly, and I’m thinking it may be the belt tensioner? The belt itself seems to be in good condition. When the car starts it’s much louder for that initial idle, but once rpms drop it gets slightly quieter, but speeds up / gets louder if you rev it. If possible, it would be great to get some advice!
