thats exactly what I have said to them, Im no longer using the car now (for fear of doing any damage) Im going to give them the choice to either put it right or a refund so I can have it sorted elsewhere, I wouldan't mind but this is the garage that I have always had my car's worked on never had any problems with them before, Phil

Hi thanks for all you advice but I don't seem to be getting anywhere with the garrage that carried out the work Im still being told it's because of the automatic tensioners and that I should do a 1000 miles for everything to settle down if the noise still persists after this they have said they will strip it down and see whats going on. I carn't really afford to have the work carried out anywhere else so im going to have to do the 1000 miles i just hope the belt does not snap in the mean time !!

The water pump was not changed no! I have now booked the car in at another garage to have the noise investigated, Thanks for the replys. Phil

Hi, Just wondering if any one can help Ive had the cambelt pulleys and tensioners changed by a local garrage a couple of months ago but ever since I have noticed a strange noise coming from the engine best way I can describe this noise is that I can hear the belt and pulleys turning (rattling) which when ticking over u can hear over the engine and radio which is rather annoying I have been back to the garage only to be told its perfectly normall because of the automatic tensioners but I know the car did not sound like this before the cambelt was done any advice would be appreciated. thanks Phil
