There isn't any physical way to check a cambelt. The only way to be sure is getting it done at your own accord.
The whine is usually the aux belt, if they're telling you it was incorrectly fitted, change it. The dephaser will tick, loudly, when up to temperature, not whine.
Lovely clean flame red 172 with a CS sticker today about 4pm, seen you at the lights about to take the M8 west towards Paisley!
I was in the red Golf GTi!
