Hi, I've just joined this forum. I'm based in the Midlands and have owned a 2.0 hdi Berlingo from new (in December 2002). Its been really good - only had one broken front spring, one failed alternator, and one leak on the injector common rail, since new.
As it's 11 years old and has done around 80K miles I decided to have a new cam belt fitted. They changed the water pump at the same time as it had a very slight leak.
Since having the new belt fitted there has been a noticeable whine - engine speed related and from the cam belt area. I thought this might be just the new belt bedding in, but after a few thousand miles it hasn't got any quieter.
Is this to be expected or might there be some problem with the belt/ how it was fitted?
Thanks
Bob.
