Wierd Sound After Timing

[mrRS4]

I got my timing done today at a workshop when i sit in park/drive or anything below 20km o can hear what sounds like a whining sound.

Car starts first time no worries and still drives well drives better than b4 i got the timing done.

Suggestions?

I can't see how the 2 can be related. Did you do any other work at the same time? Would your brake pads just happen to be out of material coincidentally? Is sound coming from under bonnet or elsewhere?

got your timing BELT done? or you got your timing adjusted...?

if you suspect the two are related then i'd suggest popping the bonnet and have someone gently rev it from cold - it could just be a slipping belt that they need to tension up more.

Always be careful with timing as we all would be well aware of with chef's issues, Also be careful of what you read on forums.

OVERTIGHT cam belt can make whiring noise.

Gates belts are also known for being a tad noisy if thats what you put on? search it if so heaps of info on the issue.

Idler and tensioner pulley bearings may also be a tad noisy while they bed in.

Its under the bonnet.

After having a quick read it sounds like a few things. Thinking timing belt is on too tight or slipping

Going back first thing in the morning, Changes my plans but oh well trip to melbourne in the beast is going to be a bit later on.

get a hose, put one end to your ear... other end move around and ull pin point the sound... but yes gates belts are noisy

Didn't you have some strange noises coming from your engine bay after a timing belt change Adam?

Ok it was just tensioned up too tight so all fine now.
