hey guys, just a quick one, im looking at buying a new car soon and i have my eye on a certain car, but the owner says that the timing belt was replaced and its a tad noisy, and his mechanic said that the noise will eventually go away. is this suss or normal?

its a FWD celica, with 130 ish km on the dial.

i went and had a look at the car tonight. it whines on cold startup, so roughly 1300rpm, and when it comes down after idling a bit the whine quietens, the whine comes back again as the rpm increases. still sounding like a tight timing belt? also, when i had my ear to the engine trying to listen for the whine location, it wasnt only coming from the timing belt housing, it was all over the top of the motor. thoughts???

IF it isnt a tight timing belt, what could cause a similar whine noise in the engine?

cheers
