Oh joy, just what I wanted.......... CAMBELT

[McPikie]

Sounds like a bearing has gone in either my tensioner or idler.

I have spoken to Gates and they are sending an engineer out to check it over, see if the part failure is down to the part or the fitting.

Not what I need right now

[summeh]

was it overtight ? this can cause bearing failure.

[lukebartlett2405]

if you need a new belt i have a brand new gates one that i didnt use pm me if u want it :D

[McPikie]

Well, the engineer is seeing my car tomoz at 2pm for a diagnostic, weeeee

[Chris H]

those that get the trade mags knwo its never Gates fault, its always the fitting.

[Lunner]

tbh i wouldn't have even bother going to the hassle getting them to come out

Look at bass' car, brand new gates cambelt snapped

[Laine_16v]

Lol bass did fit it himself though :P , and he did overtighten it quite alot too.

[Lunner]

I fitted it, and it was only slightly overtight

[Lunner]

....same tension as mine, and mine is fine

[Laine_16v]

Lol what a fibber, he told me he fitted it and it was way overtight causing a tensioner to seize and snap the belt
