Problem after belts changed

[slimra]

Hey folks I need your advice and opinions...just had the dephaser and belts changed on the 182 at a local Renault dealer costing near 700 quid,have the car back a week and there's a loud whining on idle which increases up to 3k revs and goes away,this wasn't happening before the car went in and now the stop and battery light is flickering on the dash...is there a possibility they missed something while the car was getting the belts done?? Just want to bring the car back to them in the morning armed with a bit of info....thanks in advance guys!!

Alternator.

They could have cocked something up or it could be a coincidence.

Possible aux side, take it in.. I don't think they could have fked much up but they should check it as its there problem.

The timing belt tensioners like to over tighten on occasions when new.
But that's going to be aux side of the light is on.
Are both connections plugged into the alternator?
