Well, I had my timing belt and water pump changed two days ago. Well, the pump they used died on the way home, so I took it back. the next day they went through like... two or three pumps and finally went and got a toyota pump. OK, they put that on and it worked. OK, take it home and everything's good. Driving to work today and hear this CRAZY loud sound under the hood. I turn it off, jump out, and pop the hood. I see no problem but one of the belts is sorta loose. crank it back up and it's still going crazy, so I take off to try to get to a good place to stop. after I get over about 20mph, it quits making the sound, so I'm like, ok, back roads going fast.. so I make it to work and I figure it's just a loose belt. I go to leave work and I got no power steering and the battery light is on. SO, I park it and call my dad to come and get me.

flaiming people that do stupid things to engines. I'm afraid one of my pumps is locked up and it burnt up the belt... I'm not happy. frown.gif
