Title: Cold start cambelt noise
Post by: m4nesh on 02 July 2003, 20:14

Had my cambelt changed and it makes a loud whyning sound for 10 minutes from cold start.  Furthermore, power steering makes a louder than usual sound when turning steering wheel?

Any ideas what i can do?

Are you sure that it is the cam belt and not the dirver belt (fan belt).  This usually makes a noise like you are describing.  You will find that attached to the altinator.

The fan belt probably isn't tight enough, hence the squealing.
