Hello there!

That's a bit odd... have you checked the water pump bearings and the alternator bearings? Have you checked the alternator belt?

Yes water pump and alternator is new.
I think it's the oil pump are finished, because when the belt are taken off, the noise are the same

Ah, OK! In that case, I think you may be right! Not much else that can be broken there without immediately causing any further dramas with the engine.

Did you get the problem sorted out?

Unfortunately no, I did't start the engine for 14 days and the sound disappeared, but the sound comes back quiet and pump is replaced.
Just don't know what is so wrong

Have you checked the timing chain tensioner bearing. I have notice my car making a howling noise around the alt. but couldnt find it. I pulled of the bearing and it sounds dry. I havent started my car yet to see if it was the noise.

Yup, it's just called a (timing) belt tensioner instead. Whatever. (lol I'm a wiseguy today)
