I recently had my Cambelt/Waterpump/HG changed.
It happened because I was a fool and didn't do my rad reservoir up tight enough on a long journey and forced her home, having to stop every 5 miles. It was during a blizzard so I had little choice.
Anyway when I was driving that day, my engine was seriously over heating and it started to make a really prominent clicking sound, which is when I stopped and let her cool down.
Now after getting all of this stuff changed, now when I drive the noise it made that day is always there, but a lot quieter.
The faster I go the faster the noise is, and it only happens when I am in gear. It is quite subtle, but should I be worried about it?
I guess the best way to describe it would be a kid running along a metal fence with a stick, and it makes my car sound like a diesel!
A quick note too, probably unrelated but worth a mention, my starter motor is being lazy and needs replacing, so starting the car is a bit more hassle than before.
I have driven on small journeys, but not gone above 60 yet, and a bit apprehensive about driving on the motorway tomorrow. Car seems to be driving fine, its just the noise worrying me.
