You mentioned in your other thread that the "cool" light stays on much longer since the coolant change was done. Did they by any chance replace the thermostat while changing the coolant?

No, they supposedly just did a coolant flush, not like I can trust that place. They put sealant on it too, so who knows what else they did.

I must say, when you said it could be the drive belt causing that gas pedal noise, it opened my eyes. I went to an actual reputable shop and they tightened it and now the noise is almost gone or faint. They said if the noises are still there after what they did, it means the belt is low quality. But the fact that tightening it actually decreased it tells me it's the belt.

So THANK YOU!!! :D
