for a month ago the timing belt, and all of its benefits was changed in my car. But since I got the car it has been whining somwhere from the timing are. If I step on the gas the whining just get louder? This is really annoying sound but I am so afraid that something is harming the engine. What should I do? I know it´s not an other belt, I´ve checked them out. Could this be wrong timing or could the timing belt be to tight...please ...what should I do...? :cry: ...sorry for my bad english..!
 
use a big screwdriver or a real mechanics stethascope..

I have a feeling it's your powersteering bearings.. (check the PS fluid level as well, when it gets low it gets really whiney)
 
Ok i´ll check it out.. I just hope that this sound has nothing to do with the timing belt...
 
there is a lot of tenson on that timing belt and when you go to put it back on the marks dont line up perfectly till you turn over the engine a few times. a lot of people put them back on wrong and end up bending valves because the timing is off...this also puts out a bad whining sound. i suggest you find someone who knows how to do it right and get it put back on. and check your valves. :dsm:
 
uhh. Im just gonna let the carmechanic who changed the belt for me look at it again... Or maybe I´ll just doit by myself..

So I need to check the timing marks? and belt tension? I´ll maybe post a photo of this when i´ll start.
