I have revently changed the head gasket, also changing the aux belt and the timing belt.
However I didnt change the timing belt tensioner, where first started I had a loud "howling", i removed aux belt, the noise remained, then removed covers and again noise remained, therefore I guess the problem is either timing belt or tensioner.
Anyone have similar expereince, I loosened the belt a little and the problem reduced, but didnt go away.
Thanks
Dave

Normally its advised to change the water pump at the same time as the cambelt because the new tighter cambelt can very quickly wear out an old water pump which could be the cause of the problem or could be a tensioner.
These are only guesses obviously as i cant see or hear the car.
