Today I investigated the caurse of a clicking sound when starting my 328 from cold. It disappears after a few minutes. Suppose its coming from sticking waterpump or alternator belts.
I even checked the cam-belt on the left side of the waterpump (easy to reach).
The cam-belts are new (4 months and 5 K.
I set the tension properly at that time.
Tension on the right side belt OK. Left side tension was much looser. Not dangerous, but I decided to slacken the tensioner and set it again.
On earlier belt-service this belt appeared to be in the same condition (looser than the other belt).
Any ideas what makes this belt stretch so much? Is this normal? The cams are rotating smooth and not sticking.
Hayo.
