New Timing Belt ticking with acceleration
I took my 04 Golf to the dealership at 105,000 miles for a
standard timing belt / water pump change. The car was
running fine, it was just time. It hasn’t been 2000 miles
and the timing belt area has gone from a little ticking
cricket sound when starting the car (last month) to a
ticking while accelerating yesterday. It was silent when I
started the car last night. I took it back to them today, and
they said it’s $150 to just look at the car, “then we’ll go
from there”. Does this ticking problem sound familiar /
common? :(
