was the noise there before the timing belt was done ?
could be the alternator , common on these , try running it without the auxillary belt on and see if the noise goes.
you may be able to see the alternator pulley cutting into the casing.

could it be the dephaser pully.... the noise doesnt start till the engine is warm and can only notice it on idle

i did service the car just before i had the timing belt done and used 5w 30 oil

any more help pleaseeeeeeee

thanks loz,

does not have a dephaser , pos water pump , but you need to remove the aux belt when the noise is there to see if it goes or not, then check all items for movement play etc , press clutch see if noise changes , etc get it narrowed down to the area , , and was noise there before belt changed ?

take it back to them. i second the comment above, take the aux belt off as this will whittle it down alot. only thing i can think of is a loose bolt on the water pump has come out a bit and it catching as the pump goes round, and this could go bad very quickly. really need to get it back to them so they can take the cambelt cover off and see whats going on.

i have got it to them and they rekon its the oil pump it could be true because it when the car is warm
