Fired up the HDi today after completing some work finally, new cambelt, tensioners, SKF kit
Waterpump, FAL brand
Other work is unrelated to the noise, clutch FMIC etc...
There is a bit of a high pitched squeak that comes and goes under revs? Coming from cambelt end so had me a bit worried, but engine seems to run fine.
Had a small waterleak but have fixed that, otherwise the cambelt change was ok, had the engine out to do it so made that part easy.
Quick opinion is it is either too tight, possible it's the first one I've ever done, but tensioned it to be as close as possible to the one that came off.
Or, waterpump bearing? Although new could be crap?
Another tensioner?
Belt rubbing on housing? Don't think it is this.

If it is the belt too tight, it is brand new, will it stretch/bed in slightly to get over this noise? Or best to do it all again?
