Hi
I had my Celica GT for around 2 months now, one of the forst things i wanted to do with it is get the cam belt changed as it was last done at 40000, its now on 89000. also got a few oil leaks repaired, the bill ended up being rather large! I was wondering if you need to wear in new cam belts a bit as my car seems to be making a whining noise since i got it back, the car feels fine its just the noise is a little disconcerting. so now im getting a bit paranoid that the garage didnt do it properly! is there much chance that a mechanic could mess a job like this up? ritch |

Id be intersested to know what it is or if it is a sign of a problem thats for sure I told you already. The timing belt is too tight. What you're describing is EXACTLY what happens when a timing belt has been installed too tight. -Doc I second this. Also they could have overtightened the drive belts (alternator and power steering). The clicking could be caused by parts of the belt contacting various pulleys. |
