Re: Cambelt whine

Hi,
If you have whine get it fixed as I'm sure that on the morning my belt went bang, water pump failure, I am sure I heard a brief whine when I started up. I know that two plus two don't always make four BUT are you up for the consequences?
No - exactly.
Whining is caused by over working bearings in tensioners and jockey rollers. This will cause them to fail. My wife knows this to her cost on her Corsa.
Good luck

Nick
