cam variator

Hello,

I hope you'll be able to help??

Had my cam belt go on my Alfa 147 lusso about 6 months ago, just within warranty.

Now the cam variator is making a noise and I wondered if these two were linked i.e. should the dealer have replaced the variator at the same time as the cam belt?

thanks...
:confused:

No they shouldn't replace the variator on a timingbelt change.

I know that they have had quite some sucess with getting the variator silent by using the Bilstein Engine Flush, perhaps someone in your area provides that service, if not it needs to be changed in order to get it quiet and functional.
