My father recently got the timing belt service done to his 2002 Toyota Camry with 225k miles. Belts and water pump replaced. Things is, after the service there has been a noise like a vibration, like a loud fan. It's not very noticable but at the same time you can also "feel" the noise. Not sure if explained that right but I'm sure someone might know what I mean. It's not a vibration or a pulsation that is heavily noticable but for someone that drives that car every day it's there. Any ideas what the problem could be? Also, there has a been a loss of power since the service. While driving at 40mph, it's like there is something holding the car back.

 

Sounds like the timing may be a bit off and need to be adjusted. Is it running hotter at all?

 

Not running hotter at all. He's taking it to a mechanic friend this weekend to have it checked out. I was thinking a loose belt.

 

225k on an 02? Damn thats a lot
