We bought a 2007 Vitz (SCP90) with 182K+ on ODO recently and did necessary replacements and a full service soon after. Now, when driving, I hear a kind of a noise from the engine bay area which feels/hears like a belt slipping or insufficient tension. It's not continuous, it's on and off. Comes regardless of whether AC is on/off. It's not that bothering but I want this gone/fixed. I suspected drive belt and tried to inspect the appearance but I couldn't say exactly if it's good or bad as I'm not experienced. Hoping to show it to a mechanic soon.
According to the WWW, those belts are to be replaced like after 60,000-100,000 miles? I didn't see a record of such replacement done on this car. What are your thoughts?
Does anyone know a place to repair/service a seat reclining (mechanical) system? Seems both driver side and passenger side seats are kind of stuck.. Hoping to take it to a seat cushioning/carpeting place to get checked.. any other option?
Trump imposes tariffs on China and they impose higher tariffs in US products. For the EV batteries China is the biggest provider of earth materials and it will push US EV vehicle prices up. We are going to see a nice game coming up between two world superpowers.

I will update what my mechanic would have to say?
