Hey,
So here goes another one, and this one is weird to me. So when I start on my car when cold, I get few seconds very high pitch noise, which goes actually on as well when I accelerate a bit. Only at the very beginning and stuff.
My knowledge is very limited, but so far what I could find on net was that it indicates tensioner pulleys being worn out. This is however weird, as the car has 140k km driven, and the belt was changed at 94k kms, which means only roughly 50k km was driven on this Timing belt/set. Now question is, if the work was done properly, or if they changed everything there. I know that snapping belt or loosing the pulley may end up REALLY bad for the engine, and I do not wanna get there, so what can I do to get this checked? I dont want to drive the car to place where they tell me its ok, but pay us 200euro just for driving here.
So what to do? Is it something to worry about? I will try to record the noise today evening when on my way from work, or tomorrow morning, when the car will be cold...
