Noise following cambelt change
« on: 29 May 2011, 18:32 »
 :cry:

Twice now I have noticed a noise after replacing the cambelt two days ago.

The noise coincides with the label on the outside of the best passing over the tensioner.

Only happens occasionally on cold start, car drives sweet, could this just be "newness"?

As I say, she sound fine 90% of thr time.

Not the waterpump, bought the one with a brass impellor.

It is definately a rubbery/belt kinda squeak but not a squeak, if you know what I mean

I had this with the drivebelt after changing my pump and cambelt kit. Took two more drivebelts until the squeak was gone  :undecided:

Yup,
Only happens on cold starts in the afternoons????

Double checked torque settings and everything.

Strange, but it is definately the label!

Sounds like the cambelt is catching the cover also might be worth checking the tension of the belt.

Cambelt is not catching the cover, I have ran with it removed, (only the upper obviously)
I swear it its the label on the outside of the belt. sounds perfect most of the tima
