tonydb Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hey guys I had my timing belt finally changed after 127k apparently it was the original belt still on there :( But when I started up to drive back home I noticed a strange whirring type noise on start up, thought nothing of it at the time as I thought maybe it needs time to wear in etc. Its been 2 weeks now and I've still got this noise, maybe im being paranoid?.. He also changed the aux belt while he was there, maybe something to do with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 did he change the kit or just the belt as it needs to have the tensioners and the tensioner bolts replaced if not then ide take it back as the tensioner will fail taking out the belt and damaging the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InKontrol Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I would take it back and get him to check everything over once more, and I think at that mileage I'd be looking at replacing the idlers (if he hasn't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 its difficult to know what type of whirring noise but since its happened since the belts were done you can assume that its just the new belts but to be sure just pop the car back into them if its nothing then no harm done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
