Bev2013 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hello folks, Can anyone tell me if, when a timing/cam belt is changed, it can alter the sound of the engine? I have recently upgraded to a 2 litre 170hp and before picking up the timing/cam belt was changed. The engine sounds different to on the test drive. When in low gears and accelerating there is a reverberation noise. Could this be linked to the timing/cam belt change? Thanks and regards, Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi Bev, Usually the only reason the sound of an engine can change after a cambelt change is if the timing is ever so slightly off. Not enough to cause a failure, but enough to make a slight change in noise. That would be my guess anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
