Tinkerers Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi, The dealer just replaced our timing belt and the car has been pinging ever since. Seems to only happen under heavy load. Any ideas ? Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I know already the question that's running through your head, and my answer to it is probably yes. They probably timed it off a notch or maybe the tensioner is a bit weak and let the belt skip, but if the car started pinging right after the belt change, then that seems like more than a coincidence. Take it back and tell them to see what they can do to fix it, and you shouldn't hafta pay for it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ditto!! And don't wait: as little as 3 teeth off on the timing belt can cause valves to bend! Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
