My car (X14XE) had a cam belt replacement at 37.5k miles.But at that time only the cam belt was replaced not the whole timing belt kit(cam belt + 3 tensioners,right?),which is stupid and dangerous but i didn't know back then cause my parents were driving and servicing the car.So after doing 23k the cam belt had to be replaced again cause it was dangerously sticking out of the cam pulleys and was being eaten away,but this time the whole timing belt kit was replaced.However,yesterday i started to hear some noises behind the cam belt cover and i went again to the garage only to find out that the belt is doing the same thing as before,but not so drasticly this time cause the car did only 2-3k miles after the belt kit replacement.My question: Is there anything else that needs to be replaced and it's causing this problem?
Sorry for the long post,hope you understand my situation and sorry if i made mistakes with the technical terms,my english is not very good.Please help.
Thank you. [/quote]

	As said would check the water pump if everything else has been replaced now although it should have been checked when the new cambelt was fitted, and your english is way better than alot of people's on here.:)

	yeah i was commenting that its half a job to change just the belt, and i was hinting that metal rollers are available which are infinitely better than the plastic garbage

	Replace the whole lot again, belt and the rollers and tensioner. Do the water pump as well as a precaution. thats the only way to do it properly.

	Make sure the Water pump is in good condition too, this could cause some unpleasant noises.
