I know it needs new breaks as well as an oil change which I have an appointment already to get. Lately, when I am stopped like at a stop sign or red light, it makes a weird purring type sound. Does anyone know what could cause this? It almost sounds like it wants to turn off. Also, sometimes when I am stopped and I go to hit the gas to go again, it hesitates.

I had to take it in and get the belt, idler pulley, and tensioner replaced. Hope this helps Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Mar 8, 2009, 6:02 PM Post #3 of 4 (6281 views) Re: Weird purring type noise when car is stopped Sign In Are any of your neighbors missing a cat? Sorry, just couldn't resist. When you take it in for the brakes and oil change, mention the noise to the techs. Hopefully, it'll be doing it when you are there. I can't think what'd make a 'purring' noise. Growling, yes.
