Based on replies to your post - and my reading of many posts over several years - I'd have the car towed to a mechanic, and have the timing belt, tensioner, and idler pully replaced. The reason: if the timing belt snaps, you're looking at a $2,500-3,000 head replacement, and possibly an engine replacement. Valves have been known to punch holes in pistons, when the timing belt fails. Whatever is the cost of a tow (flat-bed truck is best), it is small compared with these monster outlays. If you're at the point where the timing belt is due for a change, and it is making noise, get it done. NOW!!! Don't drive even half a block. Call a tow truck!!!! Hope this helps.
