Timing Belt

[macsgt]

hi guys!

can anyone help, just got my car back today after having the timing belt changed only trouble is i can now hear a rattling noise when in low revs and pulling away. the only way to describe it is as if the mechanic has left a bolt rattling about after replacing the belt. any ideas ??? oh and once i drove it home i noticed that they hadnt connected the fans back on the radiator........

....still the price was cheap :)

I also had a rattling sound and after weeks of diagnosis it was the cambelt.

The sound I had was similar to your. I was told the belt was grazing the cover and it had sheered.

Not sure what it could be at a guess I say it's the tensioner

Take it back.

took it back today and got it sorted, it seems that corners had been cut etc etc, so eventually with a trip to lexus for a tensioner kit the car is now sorted
