    I have a 2015 Tacoma Sport DC V6 4x4, with about 34,000 miles. Original owner, all service done and up to date. About 3 months ago noticed a loud tick when engine is cold, seems to go away after it warms up, took it to the dealer and because I thought it would be covered under warranty to find sound. They said it was dirt on the belt and wanted to replace it, I said no and said just clean it. They charged me a $140.00 and said it was not a warranty item...Wanted another $80.00 if I wanted the new belt. I was pissed , but paid and asked if they checked water pump bearing or alternator, they said that was not problem. The noise has gotten really loud, when i start when cold. Twice as loud as before,,,,Getting ready to take it back and maybe leave it overnight so they can hear noise, Just wondering if anyone else had a water pump bearing or alternator or something else go bad on there 2015. Do you think I should change the belt like they said because of dirt on it, I have not taken it off road so it's just road use......

    I have a 2014. I think I know what you're talking about as I have heard the same with mine; and have no clue what causes it. I have 103K on mine and it has been making that sound since 50-60k?
