Looks ok on the video but it shows better when you pull up on the belt. Hmm however I have just seen your video of the noise and thats the racket mine made when the tensioner wasnt correctly tensioned. The annoying bit is i had 2 belts put on after the initial cambelt change when it started as the mechanic who i entrusted it too couldnt fix it. I worked it out for myself stripping the cam covers off using a mirror to check it. It wasnt even a hard fix to just slacken the one bolt off push the tensioner stop forward and tighten again... Alot of money wasted for one BOLT! I wouldnt advise doing it yourself mind if your not spanner handy lol

I did level 1 and 2 vehicle maintenance and repair at college in 2006-2007 and changing a cambelt was one of my assignments, can barley remember what todo tho, and that was on a engine that was out of a car ;/

It is damn tricky I can tell you. Started to do my cam belt kit, water pump, gasket and aux belt service yesterday. My father is a retired mechanic and many bolts were on solid, got halfway through and decided to have a break. Will continue once better weather arrives. Never going to attempt another with the car on axle stands.

Hope you get it sorted soon Spike.
