Why is my Chevrolet Equinox making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet Equinox engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Chevrolet Equinox engine?

Can I use water in my Chevrolet Equinox radiator?
