#1: cambelt issues :( Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 11:28 am ---- hey all, I had my cambelt changed today with pullys and waterpump etc.
2001 (Y) reg 1.4 8v
on the way home I noticed that it sounds as if the belt is rubbing on something, and after a 50mph section there was a rubbery burning smell.
im going back to the garage tomorrow morning,
anyone know what its most likely to be rubbing on or could it be that its over tensioned??
Thanks
EDIT: to further its a kind of "swish swish swish swish" noise Last edited by MrrNoName on Wed Jun 22, 2011 11:41 am; edited 1 time in total

Shoddy workmanship these days!

seen a few come in to my work that are wrong sizes an put extra strain on the pulleys and messes them up.... an the belt...

they striped it all down again and put everything back on being extra careful but it still makes the noise. they assured me its all fitted correctly and that its just the new tensioners/belt bedding in etc. They assured me 100% that its correct and said it was guarenteed.
Not much more I can do haha.
