Hi,
About a month ago, I bought a used 2012 Honda CRV EX (Automatic) with 136,000 kilometres. It was bought at a dealership, where they replaced the timing chain before they sold it to me.
Today, I noticed rattling/clattering sounds coming from the engine when accelerating (specially lower gears). Some reading in the internet suggests is a problem with the serpentine belt and/or bad tensioner, and which gets a bit worse when the ac is running. I wanted to know if you have any ideas of what the problem might be.
Here is a link to a video of a car with pretty much the exact rattling sound my car has:

- Well do this. Remove the serpentine belt with the noise goes away. Then figure out what's making the noise to see if the bearings on a pulley or something are bad. Unless the noise stays. Then it's inside the engine and they did a s*** job doing the timing chain work
