Hi
Just had a new head gasket fitted to my clio 1.4 s 8v due to an oil leak,the garage asked if i wanted a new cam belt and tensioner fitted and i said,yes.
got the car back 2 days ago but over the week end i noticed a whine noise coming from the cam belt/water pump area.
it is not a bad noise but the noise was not there when i took the car into the garage. I phoned the gararage and the garage told me to run with it for a couple of days to see if it beds in.
i was wondering if any one has ever had problems like this.
could the cam belt be over tensioned or could it be the fan belt to tight on the pullys,the belt does seem tight.
going to take it back to the garage latter in the week but any imfomation would be greatfull.

thanks

Just an up date, car still making a noise but went back to garage today and they have over tightend the cam belt so they are takin it back to release the cam belt and set the tensioner correctly.
the whining is not as bad as was when i first got it back so the cam belt must be bedding in,but i still what it sorted

thanks for the advice.
