Chattering and Squealing!!

[Morganic]

Just had cambelt, water pump and tensioner replaced on my 180 by local VW Commercial dealer.

I am now experiencing chattering and squealing from cambelt area of engine when it is started from cold!
It goes after about 10 secs but doesn’t sound right. Think it might be something to do with drive belts to AC power steering etc.

Any ideas please?

Checked over. Belt tension tested. Couldn’t find anything. I think it could have been possibly due to water/coolant on ac,alternator belt slipping.
Coincidentally it had a belt tensioner replace under recall last year.
Done 150+ miles since check and thankfully no problems.

Heritage, Bristol. I have nothing but praise for the service I’ve received there.
Even price matched belt , pump and tensioner change with dealer 40 miles from me.

Great when you get a dealer you have faith in and trust.
