hi everyone, I just finished doing my 35k timing belt service, stern motor mounts, serpentine belt with idlers and tensioner, oil and coolant, and I have a slight problem:
I replaced all of the timing belt idlers and tensioners, water pump, and belt. I used the stock continental belt because I read that the gates belt squeals. With the car running there is a pretty loud squeal though. I took everything apart and it looks like it's coming from the small idlers on either side of the water pump. I'm afraid to drive the car with the belt rubbing like this because after enough rubber gets removed from the back of the belt maybe it will break? Or maybe the idlers will loosen up with use. Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated.
I used the kit from europa parts: https://www.europaparts.com/timing-b...8-d2-4-2l.html
