01 325Ci - 65000miles Recently had water pump and serpentine belt along with antifreeze replaced. ($700 ouch) Car has now started to make a noise under the hood , it comes and goes with the engine rpm. almost sounds like a pulley or something rubbing against something else but only when RPMs are between 2200 and 2700 rpms. any suggestions??
Second problem-- drivers door opens very hard after being locked, especially when cold. THe button comes up and it seems to unlock it , but when you pull up on the handle nothing happens unless you lock/unlock it a few times. Passenger door will only open from the inside, outside door handle, while it feels connected to the doors innards doesn't open the door.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

I had some problems under my hood that sound similar to what you are describing. It turned out that one of the pulley bearings was going bad. I replaced all three pulleys at the same time to save having to go back and replace them one at a time. I would only get the noise when I accelerated the engine. Just my two and a half cents...
