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 |

When I replaced my timing belt and tensioner, I noticed the same noise; but it went away after a few months and I haven't heard it since. The belt tension is supposed to be set by the tensioner spring, so it is not likely that the belt is too tight unless they intentionally forced the tensioner while tightening the holding screw. The multi-rib accessory belts do not have a spring tensioner, so it is easy to over tighten those.
