squeak after cambelt job

turbin

Guest
At idle theres a "squeak" from engine bay. Sounds like the cambelt is ether too loose or tight. Can only hear it at idle. Does this go away after a while or should I take it back to the dealer?

get some brake cleaner, let the engine idle, spray the various aux belt pullys + alt pully.
i'll put money on it being one of those or alt belt squeal.
though if it is a toothed tensioner then see your supplyiong dealer.

good luck

cambelt wont be loose by the way, has hydraylic tensoner and you'd definately know soon as you put the power down if the belt was loose!
