Hi From New Zealand 🙂

This is my Van - Just gone 107,000km believe it or not!

New cam-belt and water pump with all the belts done. $1100

First drive and i now have a loud rattle/tinkering sound. Like a "Ball bearing in a tin can" - changes with speed on the road. 😞

Mechanic says that its probably the Tappets?

Prior to the repair no noise like this at all!

Q: did the new belts increase the pressure on parts including the camshaft to force this to occur?

Why now then if this is the origin?

Since i cant do the mechanical work in the vehicle its just more cost...

 

Thanks in advance on your thoughts.

Took it to the Toyota agent after Lockdown levels changed here in NZ.

Found out our mechanic had not correctly replaced the cam belt ... 1 tooth out makes all the difference.

Another $600! - now trying to get a partial refund from our mechanic. 😞

Cheers
