cam belts is the same as timing belt but u wont get it squeeling as its a toothed belt.

thast what i thought but wen it was in the garage havin the exhaust done i asked them to check the fan belt for it squeelin and they said it was the trimin belt which is the same as the cam belt yere??

Never heard a cam belt do that. Sounds like a loose fan belt

sounds like a fan belt to me??? not too sure

first thing in the mornin it squeels a bit like a fan belt slippin. i took it to a garage an they said it was the cam belt. anyone had this problem?? does it need changin?? dont want it to snap
