Hey all...
First time post here - forgive me if this is a stupid question. A couple of months ago I got a main Fiat dealer to change the timing belt on my Mk I 1.1l 55SX (53k miles). Ever since, the gubbins around the timing belt area have made a funny groaning/whining noise when going between about 1k - 2k revs when the engine is warm.
Someone mentioned that the new belt might be too tight, so I took it back to the garage and they say that the timing belt cover is causing the noise. Now it is a little loose (you can wobble it), but I really don't think it's the culprit. It's going back next week for a new cover anyway.
Has anyone had any similar experiences? Any other thoughts?
Ta!
