Belt Noise

[malinda7]

Hi guys,

Reccently i did a timing belt change including the two belts (AC/power and alternator). however, after the replacement of two belts am getting a big noise in the morning and it turned off after a while. so i gave the car to the same garage fellow and he did a some tightning but the issue is still there. further to garage fellow, he advice me to run some more KM's until the cable get adjusted.

What do you think about his suggestion? any further advice ? coz this sound is really noisy

Thanks.

Malinda,

You have replaced with new belts (most probably aftermarket) - OK.

But, are you sure they are of correct size? You had better get hold of a parts manual or ask from agents for tge correct size.

I also remember, when I changed all 03 belts in my civic, one belt was slighly off the specification. Mechanic adjusted the pulley but that too has some limit. Isnt it?
