if you have to tighten your timing belt your in trouble. you dont tighten timing belts they stay tight untill they need changed. the noise can be a number of things so you best get it checked if you dont know how to do it yourself..

Agreed, honestly if there is any sign of trouble in that area DO NOT drive the car or you will be needing a few paydays if it goes tits up.....

Mines been doing this for months when its damp its the accessory belt on mine or the tensioner. It goes away once the moisture has dried up. Iv seen a spray in some motor factors thats supposed to cure this but havn't got round to trying it yet.

Talcum powder FTW! Shuts up squeaky belts every time...
