Hello,
two days ago I had my main cam belt and tensioner replaced on my 95 940 2.4 tic 160k.I used a commercial vehicle specialist.
They said the job would take around four hours or so.I returned later in the day to find the mechanic stressed and complaining about what a pig the job was.He was having trouble refitting the crankshaft pulleys.
I finally got the motor back halfway through the second day (fair enough thats motors for you).
On driving of I instantly noticed a hum.I pulled over to find that the alternator belt had been fitted to the wrong pulley on the crank and it was running out of line.I do not use a aircon belt.
The mechanic did the swap over.
Now I have a noise that sounds as though the vehicle is grounding when I cross sleeping policeman (but it is not grounding) this does not occur when the engine is swithed of.The fan cowling looks as though it is not attatched correctly and this may be the cause.
The main crankshaft pulley is running slightly out of true,all other pulleys run straight as a die.
Is there any checks I should make to see if the belt has been fitted correctly.
Thank you Tricksum
