the rubber bushing in the belt tensioner shock absorber shrinks with heat/age. it causes an annoying diesel-like clattering sound and is very common in the m104 engine. the "easy fix" was to use an o-ring as a shim / spacer to snug everything up again.

sorry, that was kind of cryptic wasn't it....
