Having just bought the car i treated it to full service and new belt/waterpump/tensioner at my local garage.
Driving it now feels flat at low revs and when starting it seems like it does not "catch" for several seconds of cranking. Before the service it started first turn and was like the proverbial **** off a shovel across the rev range. It now only gets 'fun' again over 4k RPM and feels like off the line it is pedestrian in the lower rev ranges. Idling is also a bit rougher I reckon...
The post4144309 seems to reference the same issue but I never saw a resolution. Has anyone else had this?
Could it be one tooth out on the belt and still run?
Might they have not used the correct cam locking tool in setting the unkeyed cam sprocket and just be a fraction off in the timing?
What do you reckon?
Is there a skilled tech in Edinburgh I should have taken it to for this job?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
