1.5dci Scenic (100)
2005 54
77500miles (mostly motorway)

The car had a full service including timing/cam belt change about two weeks ago. Upon getting the car back I noticed a tapping/chattering noise that appeared to be coming from the timing/cam belt area. The tapping has gradually become more and more audible. It starts as soon as the engine is started and increases in frequency as the engine is reved. The noise seems to dissapear at any speed over 20mph only to reappear when idle or at slower speed. I have contacted the garage concerned, who asked me to bring the car in tommorow 21/01/08. However when I explained the symptoms he said the tapping/chattering had nothing to do with the cam belt being replaced????
Can anyone give me some advice as to the possible cause of this noise.
I would really like to go into the garage armed with some knowledge to avoid being taken for a ride.

Any advice would be very welcome.
